The settting: Shanghai, China Time: Friday and Shabbat. Dragon Air safetly took us from Hong Kong to Shanghai friday afternoon. I have to admit I dont like flying in things that are named after blood thirsty animals. Keep in mind that I have to Get to Chabad center to make sure we have some kosher food for shabbat.

I let out a huge OY. ---I was warned ... read more

After months of planning, dreaming and even leaving my job - Sunday morning Jeff and I walked onto the plane that would eventually get us to Taiwan and China. For those of you who know me, my fear of flying is a love hate relationship between me, G-d, the pilot and awe of any stewardess who would risk their life to take people from one place to another. So I have to give a moment of thanks to the inventors of a wonderful pill called xanax- for without it the thought of me entering a metal tube would not happen. This note of thanks is important for with out it I am sure I would be sitting in my living ... read more
