We were out of eggs this morning, so I went out about 6:00 am (yep, I was awake) to see if anything was open. I went by the nearby wet market where I normally buy eggs, and it was gradually opening. Not all the vendors were open, but I did find eggs, apples, strawberries, green beans, and tomatoes. I\u2019ll be able to make breakfast, and some soup later on. There was a lot of fresh produce being brought in as the market gradually opened.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, Judy went to her haircut appointment and then made a Lili Nails visit. When she was coming out of Lili Nails, she ran into Shannon and Lara who had just finished a city-wide professional development seminar. They joined her for a drink in Costa Coffee.<\/p>\n
I did a swim session, and then settled in to fight with the internet, searching through some travel sites. I\u2019ve been corresponding with several travel consultants trying to put together a trip to Cambodia and Thailand during the two weeks between Judy\u2019s school ending, and our flights to Barcelona. I\u2019m trying to coordinate flights between Beijing, Siem Reap (Cambodia), Bangkok, and Koh Samui (Thailand). I\u2019m trying to get the two consultants to drop their bids a little. We\u2019ll see how that goes.<\/p>\n
When Judy gets home, we make the walk over to Capita Mall to visit the Bank of China. We\u2019re trying to figure out how to set-up a transfer from our bank in Beijing to our Chase Bank account after we leave Beijing. The school will deposit the money into the Chinese bank, and several people have told us we can set-up the transfer. We find out at the bank that it\u2019s possible to make a one-time transfer, but we\u2019ve got to pull together a lot of paperwork, including Judy\u2019s contract (in Chinese), and several letters and tax statements. As we head home, we celebrate (I\u2019m not sure what) with some frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
