Hello from China,

This isn't particularly newsworthy but Don just left for his 7:00 PM class in the largest
downpour of rain that I have ever seen. The thunder was impressive too. His umbrella will be useless. My umbrella was loaned
to Susan, the office contact, who came to look at our water heater, which hasn't been working for
a few days. We have a big party this Friday night where all the foreign teachers in the province will be
the quests of the governor. The dress is formal, which is not going to be accomplished by me, but
my hair will be the most spectacular fluff. The humidity does wonders for hair volume. Maria, tell Melissa and she
will be able to picture it. We are relieved that we are starting to put names with the faces of our students.

By the way, Magnum ice cream bars are good in China too.
