2 days to go

the time goes so fast. we finally are getting familiar over here and its time to go home.

I can’t say enough about the people here. they are so kind, patient. yes there is that language barrier but there’s a place inside all of us where we meet that is pure human.

I hope the world would come together and focus more on curing disease. it’s needed everywhere. it seems that China has recognized that.

Saturday

I had my first stem cell injection on Wednesday.

seriously, it wasn’t that bad. it was a lumbar puncture. then I had to lay on my back without raising my head for six hours. that was the hardest part.

we found an excellent Korean restaurant. very inexpensive.

the weather here has been really nice. low 70s. no rain.

the staff here are so nice and helpful.

here in China

we arrived here yesterday. the trip was grueling after a few hours.  I’m still jet lagged

 it is a whole other world over here. it looks alittle like Florida without palm trees.

 It’s some holiday. Monday we have to ourselves. we will go exploring Qingdao. we are 40 minutes away from the seaside area, we’ll take a taxi there.

 there is not much we’ve found within walking distance.

I haven’t been able to connect to the internet on my laptop.

 I’ll start my treatment next week.

thanks for the info

I called the airlines, they charge $25 for an overweight bag.

I’ll be in Qingdao for 25 days, maybe we’ll get to meet.

less then 2 weeks to Qingdao

hi world,

I can’t believe I’ll be going to China in less than 2 weeks.

Hello world!

I am packing my bags for China. I am dizzy whenever I stand, so getting ready to go is a challenge. I practice Tai Chi and that keeps me from falling. I am trying to keep my luggage from getting too heavy.

Does anyone have any suggestions for my trip?
