Meet Rose!!

This semester I decided I wanted to become more serious about studying Chinese. I wanted to get a tutor. I didn't know who my tutor would be and therefore was somewhat worried. The day came for me to meet the person I would spend 2 hours with 5 days a week and when I walked into Costa Coffee I was greeted with this sweet face!
Meet Rose!! She is my Chinese best friend! She is 24, a chinese traditional architect doctorate student, and an excellent teacher. To my surprise Rose was also an eternal sister. We immediately felt we were the Father's gift to each other! I had been wanting a close friend and she had been in need of encouragement in her walk and self confidence!
This beautiful woman is my miracle this semester! Without her, life would have been very different :)
She has been not only my language tutor, but a cultural guide, shopping partner, hospital and doctor visit companion, and the person that reminds me everyday that the Father is so good!

Pick mine!!

Marry my daughter please. She is 25 and successful at her career. 5" 1' and 90 pounds. Smart, knows Chinese, English, Japanese, and German. Plays Violin, piano, and owns a car. Sound like a newspaper add? Its because it is. The paper and flyers you see here are from parents and grandparents trying to find their son and daughters spouses! These are people carefully picking their selections. I couldn't believe it....but what was crazy is that this went on throughout the whole park. I mean thousands of adds everywhere. I wasn't sure what I should think about it....but i found it very intriguing. How would you like for your parents to go the park every weekend to try to sell you to those who passed by?

A bear stole my seat

I was on the subway heading to a birthday party for a teammate when all of a sudden a huge teddy bear came walking in. I soon found out, that there was a lady behind the bear. I couldn't contain myself. I had to be a tourist at this moment. I laughed whipped out my camera and capture this image of "China" for you all. I am sure subways in New York are crazy too, but people watching at a subway in China could be a full time job!

Dancing in the park

Last night was a lot of fun! We had mexican....it wasn't Los Bravos, but it was a nice break from garlic! :) We walked home from dinner and what happened from there was a blast. In America after dinner, for the most part, we sit on the couch and watch TV. In China, TOTALLY different. The evening is where it all takes place. Everyone is out and about. Walking through the parks,talking and playing games on the street corners. The street food is grilling and the air is full of laughter, horns, and music! I love it here at night! The sense of community is something westerners should be envious of! As we walked home we passed many parks. In the parks are walkers, people doing Tai-chi, and women dancing!We normally walk by taking pictures, but as we walked by the last park we could not help but hear,"HOOP there it is"!!! We stopped dead in our tracks, gave our bags to the husbands and ran to join all the women in their evening exercise! This was SO much fun! Of course we look
