Mom Arrives in China!!!!

Now it really is the Motherland!! Here she is, in the Pudong Airport, after her 14 hour flight. It was sooooooooo busy. She says she had a wonderful flight and it was smooth sailing. The plane was only half full, she she was able to strech out and sleep!


Her large suitcase in my small apartment.


We did a tour of the South Station and then Xiujiahue. We counted five Noodle Girls and Seven Starbucks in that short distance!

The lights are very impressive at night.



Grand Gateway was totally decorated for Chinese New Year (CNY). These lanterns were really spectacular!


Not much time to report now because we are headed out for a day full of exploration and then a night of celebration with drunken expats as Obama is inaugurated!! Look for frequent updates!

Zaijian!
