Home … and one week later

Posted on 22 August 2008 @ 08:18 in Stress Busters, Travels

Well, it’s exactly a week since I came home from my excellent panda adventure. (A week ago this time, I was in Beijing, getting my luggage together to wait for my taxi to the airport.)

Apart from posting a video on 16 August, I haven’t updated my blog. In fact, I haven’t done much writing, and the AlphaSmart Neo is still in its neoprene case since arriving home.

What is wrong with me?

Actually, I’ve been ill – cold and sore throat, plus I stubbed my little right toe on the corner of a door in my sister’s house, which turned a sickly green 24 hours later – so I haven’t felt up to doing much.

I have managed to miss two birthdays so far, and if I persist in this state, will miss a third birthday.

The two birthdays were Mei Sheng’s on 19 August, and his half-sister Hua Mei’s on 21 August. They turned 5 and 9 respectively.

I saw them both during the Bifengxia part of my excellent panda adventure. Here are 2 pictures.
