Its funny that I made this scrap-page, yesterday... the hottest day in Adelaide in 70 years. The mercury was boiling at 45.8C (114.4F)... it was HOT! Today we get a bit of relief, its only about 40C (104F) today!!! Its our 3rd (or is it 4th?) day in a row, over 40C. Only 11 days to go. Its suddenly hit me, all the stuff I need to get done!!! Phone calls, bank trips, business tax stuff... the list is as long as my arm! I'm slowly getting there. Visited the bank today. The RMB exchange rate is almost half what it was when we were there last year. That totally sucks, for our donation. I paid for our "internal" travel/guide expenses today - that had to be in US$... and that exchange rate is crappy too.
Other news... the tiny laptop I bought just before Christmas... the one, "purpose-bought" especially for China.... has decided its not going to work. I can't believe it. The bloomin' thing is only 6 weeks old. I'm VERY ticked off. I'm taking it back to the store today -and demanding if its not fixed in a week - I'll be needing a new one.
Argh.

There she is. My Sunshine on a cloudy day.

Sounds like you are getting there girly..
I can not believe how warm it is there..
I say warm becuase we are always in the 100's in the summer here..

Only 11 days!! It will go quickly.. Tell that store you want a new computer as this is a very important time in Tari's life that needs to be recorded. I can"t wait to follow your journey. Did you settle on a hotel?
Lauren is home and doing well, Takes her time to warm up, but seeing more and more of the happy girl she is becoming..... Linda
I LOVE that scrap page.
All those tasks will come together and not a bit of it will matter soon. It will be Tari time.
Get on 'em about that computer though. We have to have that working.
