TJ Has Arrived!

Wednesday December 17, 2008

TJ has arrived! His plane landed at 3:00 and he was through customs and out the door by 3:20, not bad! We took him back to the apartment and after the “tour” of the place he jumped in the shower to freshen up.
We decided to take a nice long walk to dinner. There is a wonderful little outdoor pedestrian mall with tons of restaurants about 45 minutes away by foot. We headed out the door and the sights the smell of Shanghai enveloped us immediately and we all knew we weren’t in Kansas anymore.
Dinner was at the German Bier Garten – I know I know, Chinese anyone? But really you don’t want to eat the Chinese food that the Chinese eat, you wouldn’t really like it. Anyway for those of you who don’t know, Chinese is NOT one of Tony’s favorite foods. He’ll eat it but if there is a choice………
Tomorrow we head out to Hong Kong, Tony has work and TJ will be visiting some of his college mates who studied in Hong Kong for fall semester. Weather in Hong Kong 75 degrees and sunny, and hey we’ll be on an island, we love that!
