My day starts off with a quick trip back to BHSFIC.\u00a0 I managed to leave some necessary computer cords at the school.\u00a0 I need them this weekend, so the one-hour commute over, and another hour long commute back to the apartment is delightful (is the sarcasm obvious enough).<\/p>\n

BISS is having a lunch today for all the \u201cnew\u201d staff members and their families.\u00a0 It\u2019s a chance for us to celebrate 4 months in Beijing.\u00a0 Everyone attends with families, and it\u2019s a really good time.\u00a0 We get a chance to eat and then tell our best TIC (this is China) story.\u00a0 There are some really funny stories, including the Head of School\u2019s wife visa issues (she can\u2019t get a family Z visa, and has to leave the country every 3 months and reapply for a tourist visa).\u00a0 How fun!\u00a0 There are too many great ones for me to write about here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Scott\"<\/a>

Scott Lindner, the HS music teacher, and his family<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Ruta\"<\/a>

\"Javier\"<\/a>

After lunch, Judy and I walk around the area, just checking it out.\u00a0 We\u2019ve heard there are some unusual shops in the area, but we can\u2019t find them.\u00a0 We head back to the apartment, and spend the rest of the day catching up on schoolwork, financial stuff, and blog writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gingerboard<\/a>

A gingerbread house, in mid-construction.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Apartment\"<\/a>

Back at the apartment. It’s a gorgeous afternoon.<\/p><\/div>\n
