The Shopping

Shopping is a 'lil different here.In America almost everyone loves shopping @ the mall.The Americans hate it here .If u were Chinese and u wanted 2 buy a computer chair then it would cost bout 498 yuan.Now if u were a foriegner then it would cost 600 yuan.U have to bargain no matter where u go, unless u go to a grocerie store or buy food,but if buy appliance u have to bargain. When u take a translater w/ u if the price is to high 4 them then u don't get it. The malls are so different, because they don't have shops they just have open booths or counters. They have alot of bakeries and the bakery food is so good. They have cream puffs(whipped cream in a pastry) and really good raspberry thing with coconut.....but it doesn't really taste like raspberyy. The mall food court can be disgusting but the food is usually really good and always really cheap. They have dogs wandering around in the malls. They have meat sections @ the mall and it is not a pretty site.Jameson can't go 2 the meat section cuz it makes him sick.There's chopped up fish everywhere chicken parts, cow parts, and I mean every parts of the animals pig and goat, and lamb parts.The weirdest thing that i

Makes me remember the marketplace at Korea 50 years ago, and Tanzania four years ago, and Israel a month ago!! In other words, lots of places are like that. Quite an education you are getting. Thanks so much for sharing it with us...keep writing! LOVE YOU ALWAYS. "Miss Bonnie"

Hey Howe kids it Jennifer.....alright, I was just on your mom's blog page or spot or whatever you call it and was reading her entries while listening to the beautiful "Canon in D" (one of my favorites) anyway, the music was very soft so I had to turn my speakers up a little and all that good stuff. So....can you imagine my surprise when I come to your page and get blasted with "FUNKYTOWN" by the chipmunks :) It did get Emma and Taylor's attention - they say hi by the way.
Emma wants to know when Grace B. came to visit you. She saw the pic of Selah and a friend and she thinks thats Grace. I know little Emma thinks a little different.
Well Darren will be home soon and I need to get the dishwasher loaded before he gets home. We miss you guys and we love ya!!!

Hey! got ur email last week.
Sounds great!
Things have gotten REALLY busy right now so i have to admit i've not been thinking about the possibility as much as i'd like to.
I do 'think' about it every night though.
i'm just in a spot where i don't know how it can happen.
i know, i know, that's how it's supposed to be.
anyway, hope all is going well.
we'll skype soon.
