Today...

So I also called my grandma today and talked to the family which was nice. I missed out on our yearly tradition of cream mush that was passed down from my great grandmother. I can almost taste it I miss it so much... If anyone wants to send me the recipe I might try to make it....

I was planning a trip to Dongdaemun again today for yarn but Eddie got really sick to his stomach so we stayed home and listened to his favorite songs Don't Stop Believing by Journey then The Wheel in the Sky AND then When a Man Loves a Woman on repeat because it seemed to make him feel better.... haha (Thanks Jennie for having it on your page! NOT!) I walked to the store to get some chilsing cider (Sprite) and other necessary items for a stomach ache then we laid low at home. He has the chills but he is warm all over... I'm sure he'll be fine but I feel bad for the guy. I've been researching Thailand online and I am really excited for our next trip! My students canceled for today but hopefully that will stop as soon as the winter hubbub has passed so I can start saving some money! I guess Thailand is pretty expensive this time of year but supposedly it gets cheaper around March. It looks like we'll be going mid March and my brother said my grandma, mom, and him are planning on visiting in April then I'm hoping Tara and Jennie can make it in May then late June I'm hopping to go to China then it'll be almost time to come home!

Danny said China is difficult to travel in because they don't speak much English. To quote him "To get around in China you either have to have a friend who speaks Chinese or you need to speak Chinese" That makes me a little apprehensive about the whole thing but I still want to go there because China is like the father of Asian culture it seems like everything that Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc. has has come from China so hopefully we'll figure out a way to get over there. Since the Olympics are going to be held there I guess the new Mayor is working really hard to clean up the city. They have new laws the restrict people from even spitting on the street or littering! I think thats great but its probably frustrating for the people to have to change their town. Here's a site to a Chinese newspaper in English. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/
