yuyuan again


This is a cool little tea house in the middle of Yu Gardens Shanghai. Great place to walk around right in downtown Shanghai.

groover


Sheridan iPodding away.

She has the moves and I know they didn't come from me.

Egypt


I know this seems out of palce a little but Delenn took a quick visit to Egypt while in Shanghai. She was studying Egypt and wanted to take something back to the class.

YuYuan Garden


My dreams came true at YuYuan Gardens.
Coffee fix for a few hours.

There are Starbucks everywhere in Shanghai much to my delight and I think I had three a day just to get my fix in before going back to Wuhan which is starbucks free (for the moment).

Shanghai


Nice sunny day on the Bund in Shanghai.

Golf buddies


I tried for many years to get Fiona out onto the golf course to no avail. Recently however for the first time she has the Golfing bug.

Fi has found some friends to go to the range with during the week and in fact tried her hand at a round of nine last week. I did not witness the event but heard that she had a good time but played terribly. Now she even sounds like a golfer.

This is a photo of Fi showing off her new clubs.

A lot has been happening in our lives lately. Trying to get the kids enrolled in school has been fun. We decided on a school only to find out the waiting list had doubled in size from when we went to visit the school. So we are now having to apply to two different schools. Both very good. Concordia and Shanghai Community International School.

We went to Shang hai recently to do the school tour and had a great time. We got the kids some ipods to help with the air travel we keep subjecting them to and I bought myself a PSP (for watching movies and playing games). I had an Xbox in the US and was having computer game withdrawal. I am trying to talk Delenn into asking for a PS3 for her birthday. Not sure if she sees the light yet though. (Don't tell Fi.)

I have a few more pics from our shanghai trip that I will post. Bye for now. The Wuhan Whincop's
