Random thoughts

1. Calling your kids "buddy" is a hard habit to break after having only boys and now suddenly having a girl.

2. Warm Coke is definitely not as good as cold Coke.

3. Warm Coke is better than nothing.

4. Job I wouldn't want: bathroom attendant.

5. Cargo pockets are wonderful.

6. Hugs are a universal language of their own.

7. There is apparently no such thing as "right-of-way" in China.

8. "The Sound of Silence," performed on flute, gets old quickly when played over and over again, very loudly, at a McDonald's.

9. More amusing road signs: "Driying Lane"; "Riverdabridge".

10. There is no OSHA in China. Lots of construction; a few hard hats; no ear protection, eye protection or safety harnesses.

11. Although the concept of waiting in line is unheard of here, the Chinese are a polite people. We have yet to run into one rude or angry person since we left the U.S.

12. Living out of suitcases gets very old after about two weeks.

13. Five people + one hotel room = ready to be home (see #12).
