Mike coming to China soon! I'll be meeting him when he gets off the ferry from Hong Kong on October 25th. We'll be together in Shenzhen for about two days, then I have to be back to work in Beijing...he's been counting down the days, lol!

We'll still be chatting with our webcams & mics, but it will be nice to be in the same time zone :) The thirteen-hour time difference has been a challenge in many ways...I'm sorry that I haven't been more frequent with e-mails to everyone. I'm still waiting for my schedule to slow down, lol!

My typical day is : up at 3:30am, Dad & I go for a walk, meet Mike online at 5am, at 6am get ready for work, breakfast at 7am in the staff caf at school, work starts at 7:30am, lunch from 12noon to 1:20pm, back to work until 6pm, supper in the caf & home for 6:45pm...some nights I try to write to people or update photos, but most of the time I crash, yikes!
