I had limited internet access in Italy, so I had several blog entries saved up which I have now posted all at once. Hopefully it didn't get too boring reading so many entries about our trip to Italy. But if you cannot tell, we had a wonderful time and I am thrilled that we had the chance to go and stay for an extended time.
Back to life in China. We arrived in Shanghai on Saturday morning and spent the weekend unpacking in our new house in China (formerly known as Jim and Mona's house). Above are pictures of the interior of the new place. The decor has lots of natural wood giving it the feel of a hunting lodge. The primary reasons to move were to gain an extra bedroom and a bigger master bedroom closet. The big winner in this move is Juliana who no longer has to share a room with Maria. Can you see the joy on Juliana's face ?
We expect to stay in China for one more year. It was debatable whether moving was worth the trouble with only one more year to go. Nonetheless, we decided to go ahead but try to minimize the period of disorganization associated with the move so we would maximize the time we have to enjoy the new place. I sympathize for Kathleen - she is coming back to a lot of work to unpack and organize the new place.
