Ni Hao!

Hello beautiful people,

I just wanted to let you know that we made it here successfully last night. (Tuesday morning for you.) My computer currently isn't quite able to do updates here yet. I can do emails, but not blogs yet. Once they help me get my computer hooked up and fixed up right I'll be able to put updates on here more often.

As for now, some ABC's of our travel here. (40+ hours with our delays and missed flights.)

A-ll our baggage made it here and safely and we had no issues at all leaving
the airport. Talk about him opening doors, we handed them our paperwork,
collected our luggage, and walked out the open door. No hassle at all!

B-eijing has very rich smells to it, sometimes like a 4th of July BBQ, other
times, wood smoke, other times dog poop, and sometimes… well not sure what
it is, but you realize it.

C-hinese for what I’ve talked to are excited to talk to you. With a smile
and a Ni-Hao they smile right back and offer a friendly hello. Although,
after attempting to one guy on the plane, I learned that apparently my
accent is thicker than other people’s on the team. Got to do some work on
that.

Thank you all for caring and thinking about us as we’ve traveled over here.


Today was our first day of training and adapting to the culture. I'm going to go study teaching some and attempting to learn some of the language as today provided to be a great motivation source to learn the language. I love you all and appreciate you so much.
