N: An American Doctor in China

Someone sent us a link to another blog.  Check it out!  The article is short, first hand, and gives some pretty good examples of medical care in China. 

An American Doctor In China: What’s Different?

 

S: Bah!

N: Urbanization

A Facebook friend who used to teach with us sent me a link to this video.  K and I don't think too much about Wuhan or that specific area, but I thought it was excellent support for the rapid urbanization of China.  

The first picture gives you an idea where Wuhan is in the big picture of China. The "A" thumb tack in picture marks it.  Yinchuan is on the map too.  Can you find it? =)

 

N: February - the BEACH!

 

This was the restaurant we went to on the beach.  They could grill a chicken worthy of Texas BBQ.

 Give a boy a coconut, and he will make chair.

  

N: January

Shepherd has breathing problems when he gets a cold.  Starts all innocent and then BAM! he starts wheezing and gets asthmatic on us.  Thank goodness for nebulizers that work at 220 instead of only 110. 

 
 

 Waiting in one of the airports, Shepherd found some stuff to play in.

 Getting ready for his first day in Chiang Mai!  Clean teeth are a great way to start the day!

 We stayed at the YMCA Chiang Mai.  Reasonable place, good price, comfortable, great food.

 
 
 The Chiang Mai Zoo is pretty good.  You can even pet the Hippos if you want.
