Tuesday 26 February 2013

Alisa and Maria left us yesterday morning and we realized that we are tired. Having fun does that!
They were delayed in Beijing for 2 hours on the tarmac and missed the Vancouver connection, but eventually arrived home.
Perhaps that gave them time to view the Beijing airport, which is shaped like a red dragon.

Our February was just wonderful for Don and I. Showing both family groups our home-away-from-home thrilled us. We love China, with
all its contractions. The campus is a beautiful place right now. Being in Beijing made us realize just how lovely the south of China is
during winter months. There are blossoms all year and the spring blossoms on the trees are especially colourful now.

Then there is always the shopping, and Guangzhou is one of the great wholesale centres of the world.
The wholesale pearl (jewellery) market put smiles on our faces.

More on the visits to come later.
