Letters from China

Hello from Changsha
- January 22nd, 2005

Greetings,

We arrived in Changsha late this evening. It is 11:54pm on Sunday night. We have a meeting at 7:50am in the morning. Then we leave around 10:00am to get Kaylee.

Today was crazy. Traveling is a bit stressful. But fortunately, when the plane landed in Changsha, as we were waiting to exit the plane, the over-head music was playing "Love Me Tender" by Elvis. A nice reminder of home. I haven't heard that song in ages. What... I have to go all the way to China to hear some Elvis? :-)

Hong Kong was interesting. It was like New York City. But with more people. I'm not a fan of crowds. And HK was the worst I have ever seen. It was very Americanized. But what we have seen of Changsha so far is definitely not.

Well, we have to get some sleep. We have a BIG DAY tomorrow. We are going a bit crazy. It's cold. We are exhausted. And we didn't have much time tonight to prepare for the morning. In fact, I really shouldn't be typing this but I needed a break.

We will try to send out an update and some pictures tomorrow when we get back with Kaylee.

BTW, I posted a few photos of Hong Kong on the Adoption Blog. More later...

Mark (& Naomi)
