I currently have my office computer set up to alert me at the beginning of every week. Today was the beginning of week 21. I saw this and began to realize how long I have been in China. My time here has been an experience that will not be matched in this lifetime. I have grown in many ways and will never forget the community of people I have met in Shanghai.

I am not far from my second mandatory trip, this time to HongKong. I plan to have a lot of good images to post and I will update everyone when I return.

Shengjie is now back in China safely and busy meeting up with her family in Dalian. I am planning to see her in less than a month. We are going to hit 3 years on June 23rd and luckily we should be together at that time.

I have seen a lot of things since my last post. There are endless opportunities for cultural experiences and photos here and I don't have enough time to see most of it.

You really have some good night time pictures. The colors are very vivid. The pizza would look better with a few less items on it! Miss you!!!!
