Long Time, No See
Hi. Yes, I realize it has been awhile since my last post. I have been way too busy in the past two months. I'm so busy, I didn't have time to write and tell you that I am in the USA now for three weeks. I got here last Saturday night. (Actually, I wrote an e-mail to all of you, but for unknown reasons, my e-mail program refused to send it.) I'm in the USA for a week-long meeting, and when it is over on Sunday, I plan to fly to Texas to visit my parents for two weeks. I return to the Big Country on May 4th.
I'm going to post a few random photos here just to give you something to look at.

20% off of certain products at this pet store!

This is the Shanghai skyline...old and new both!

I took this myself...pretty scary, huh?

Meems doesn't care to be disturbed by cameras while sleeping.

This is candied fruit on a stick...very common in the Big Country.

This friendly lady might be a wee bit wacky. She wore blue-rimmed glasses, blue clothes, and was knitting something blue while sitting on the dirty ground trying to sell these veggies.

This is some elderly friendly guy and his pet bird. He could be a bit on the eccentric side too. :-) The bird speaks good Chinese.
