they arrived in shanghai
I got word this afternoon that scott and syd arrived in shanghai after having to spend the night in Tokyo after the alaska delay. They hit the fabric market this afternoon and scott spent 3,000 rmb(about $390) on material for a cashmere coat, 2 suits a suitcoat and 11 pairs of pants. That doesn’t include the cost of the tailor (that should be at least 2,500 rmb). He said i am not allowed in the fabric market any more. Brooke was a little tired today and I had to cut her therapy short. She took a nap and then we went shopping with Joanna, our friend from toronto. We went to the silk market – hangzhou is the silk capital of the world. We picked up a few things – I should have a new wardrobe by the time i get home!!
For those of you wondering a w sit is a way us old people don’t bend – two legs out to the side bended so the knees are in front. Brooke gets her third treatment on Wednesday and scott will be here just in time for. I can’t wait to get to Shanghai to see Syd – I heard she was a very good girl while i was gone. I hope we have fun and i hope I am able to leave with out much trouble.
Another day gone – I haven’t picked up too much more chinese but one of the dr’s said my chinese is good – such a complex language – each character has 4 different sounds.
Well I should be getting off to bed – brooke hit the sack around 7:00 – she was very tired. She is getting another tooth – her bottom right eye tooth. it looks like it will break through any day now.
We hope everyone is well. I will be leaving for Shanghai on Thursday evening so it will be scott’s responsibility to keep this updated!
Hope this finds everyone well – love heather and brooke
