Zao Shang Hao 中国, Six months China. I have been with you for over six months now. Has this been as good to you as it’s been for me? I’ve really enjoyed my time, I think we have looked good together. Half way through and you continue to etch permanent marks on my mind. And in some infinitesimal way I’d like to think I’ve effected you too, leaving tiny positive ripples of energy in m...

catching up
Nate, Good to catch up. You have been on my mind a lot as the headlines in the morning paper are about Google and China. I wonder what the people you know think of Googles stand on sensorship. China is such a big market it is always a balancing act for US companies wanting be a part of it and make money and the challenge of "Playing by the rules" that China sets. We will see how this plays out in the long run. It is good to look back and see what six months brings. Thank you for sharing that experience. In your case the changes are more readily apparent. And -- what about that great news about your sister Emily- We are all very excited about her engagement! I am sure you have read about the earth quake in Haiti, the news of the disaster is worse every day. We are all getting back into the normal work patterns now that the holiday s over -- but you are soon heading into Chinese New Year -- a wonderful time! Kind of fun to separate it from Christmas. Nice to see the photo Carmen. Where are they moving to in Canada? Jimmy and I love Canada, so we hope her family will be happy. Wait until she hears their accents, eh? Well -- got to go. Stay happy.

Hey thanks Aunt Chris!, We are all in China and having a great time. I'll make sure to make them eat everything and take some pictures of my mom 'using' her chopsticks, hilarious!
