I'm a slacker....

Hey all, I'm am quite a slacker, I know....sorry. I was trying to download pictures about my trip to Inner Mongolia last week, but the pictures weren't downloading and it kept shutting down my computer. I finally got them on my computer, but then I left for Qingdao for the weekend and didn't get my blog updated. I'm working on that now....and I'll try to be better at updating it.

You may have all heard about the earthquake in China. In case you were wondering, it wasn't where I live and I didn't feel a thing (of course, I happened to be taking a nap at the time. I was really tired and could have slept through the whole thing! haha). It has been all over the news this afternoon (a whole day after it happened..yeah, they are a little slow in responding here). It is really sad! It makes my heart hurt to see and hear of so many people killed and injured! especially children...more so since most families can only have one child. It is really sad. My boss, Mr. Sun, said that according to local fortune tellers (it would be interesting to hear what they say) the years ending in 8 are years where a lot of disasters will happen for China. It is barely May, and already there have been quite a few disasters...earthquakes...train crashes...snow...diseases...I arrived in China...etc. This poor country!
