Currently in China, and will remain here definitely through end of July, and strive to stay for Olympics 2008 in Beijing. Tentative plans for China, about a week in each city : 1) Xiamen and surrounding cities from July 9; 2) Shanghai (and surrounding cities of Lizhu, Suzhou, Wuxi and Hangzhou) from July 15; and 3) Beijing from July 24. Overnight train rides from #1 (24 hrs through mountainous range; hard bed and 6 to an opened cabin) to 2 (about 14 hours; soft berths and 4 to a cabin with closed door- almost as good as Eurail cabin) to 3.
Confirmed reservation to fly home to USA from Singapore August 17, 2008. Apparently, the flight over the Pacific east bound is critical as the returning university and other students resuming their education in US, and for the rest of us, summer is also over and going back to the swing of things and reality.Thanks to those who are most supportive and encouraging in the goals in this area which are not limited to genealogy, university search (best learning Mandarin in China for KC) and decision making on career opportunity in this area.
Kt and KC are generally in good health with sporadic allergies (KC) and occasionally cough for us.
