smiles from Arizona Your blog entry for your latest adventure brought a proud Dad's smile to my face Tye. Hope the first few hours of your time there have been less than chaotic and that you can quickly get your living arrangements and class schedule in order. Thank you so much for a special summer, especially all the time you spent with Hannah. Enjoy everything and write as often as you can.
Bon Voyage I dread taking you to the airport as much as I look forward to it. I'll miss you so much, but hey a free stay in China is too good to pass up. What an adventure for my son with wander lust.
We'll send plenty of care packages.
Thanks for Your Memories Tye,
Your words and pictures of China were mesmerizing, enchanting, vivid and intriguing. Thank you for taking the time to blog, for the most part in real time. My wanderlust reared it head encouraging me to travel again. Thanks for the memories and making it real, for sharing you not just who you thought you were. It was great.

Welcome Home As happy as I am that you had the experience of living in and traveling around China, I'm also so glad to have you back home! We sure missed you! Thank you for keeping up this blog for us.
Gambling and swearing? I didn't raise you that way!
I like the iltalic font. Thanks for this (probably) last blog entry. I can tell you are creating some good bonds on top of everything you are learning. Sounds really fun!
your photos Yuck, just looked at the crazy food market pix. Are you sure anyone besides tourists eat that? I'd lose weight pretty fast.
The gardens and coastline are so beautiful. I'm converting your room into a drum tower tonight ;)
violin Tell Dave to pick up the Suzuki method book/album to teach himself violin. It also helps learn to read music and play by ear.
Some wild adventures there, Dr Jones.
the festival Hi, kid. The festival is called Duanwu, honoring one of the most talented poets in Chinese history...Chinese ppl have been celebrating it for thousands of years, which involves Zongzi making/eating and dragon boat racing.

did you say you study Chinese in China??? lol...
Be sure to pick up a whole jerkified shrink -wrapped chicken on the shelf at the gas station, too.
I'll make you the breakfast, lunch, and dinner you've missed most the day you get home! Meanwhile enjoy the new experiences.
Thoroughly enjoy your blog Ty thanks for the blog comments. Your insites, observations and comments take me to China. I close my eyes and see the people watching, the trees and the characters.....keep it up.
Thank you... ...for keeping in touch so well by phone and email. I appreciate it. The photos are great and everyone enjoys reading your new insights. You are becoming a bit of celebrity here ;)
I love you and miss you so much. Get enough food and sleep (always with the motherly nagging) but most of all have fun.
approve my comments please sounds like another busy but splendid week Tye. Have you begun to think about how hard it will be to come back and the difference in the way you will look at things here?
By the way, have you received either of the packages I sent and what is complete new address.
Miss you kiddo. Hannah says she love you.
Dad.
from dad Tye, the pictures are amazing. thanks so much for letting everybody share in them. I'm sending another package your way. Mainly just local newspaper...maybe a CD. Great job on your first test also and on successfully navigating the local mass transit. Light rail in Tempe will just be a joke to you now. I do have a request though for more pics that have you in them. you look good kiddo...just no more Kimche.
Dad.
