Up and Over

On John's first trip to China, we were confused by the fact that they flew him to Chicago (north) to go to Asia. We couldn't figure out if he was going to go eastward or westward.

Being the techie that he is, he enjoyed watching the monitor which showed their route as they progressed.

Amazingly, they went up and over the top of the world! Can you believe that? Here is a picture showing their plane as they went over the North Pole. Incredible.

I wonder if he heard tiny hammers? I am sure that the Elves are busy this time of the year. :)

Got Heat?

In 90 - 95% of the homes in China, the heat is controlled by the government.

They turn the heat on November 15th.

End of story.

China Syndrome

Hubby's off to China again.

I guess he missed going to restaurants to eat things like:

this-

Goose Tongues

I Don't Know...

You Couldn't Pay Me Enough...

Or the adventure of 'Let's-Pick-Our-Dinner' ! (from the aquarium... no this is not a zoo, it is a restaurant...)

Plenty of delights to choose from:

Eel

Turtle

Or These Little Nifties...

Now, I Could Do This -

This, Not So Much...

I am thinking that a PBJ and some milk sounds mighty fine right about now.
