My Box

Tuesday, September 9. 2008 My box came today. Fifty pounds of stuff, mostly warm clothes, that I'll need to make it through the year. One of the US Embassy drivers brought it to me after school. It arrived last week but was held up in customs. Since I sent it to Bill at the Embassy, it shouldn't have gone to Chinese customs at all. I finally have my curling iron!

Cathy and I had dinner together tonight at the little café/bakery in our complex. It was fun to get to know each other. It's Cathy's birthday on the 19th, so I think we need to have a party. Since she is from Canada she speaks French fairly well, we decided that sometimes when we're together we just need to talk French so we don't forget how. Jane and Patty both studied French for several years but they say it has been too long ago. I could teach French after school but I am going to need the time for myself I think. While we were at the café, Janice came in. Ryan and Michael have been taking Janice and Holli all around the area so Janice told us about all these places we should see. The one that interests me above all is the two hour foot and body massage for only $15. I still haven't had a foot massage yet! Darn.
