Always carry a book or your ipod and water when going to run errands. Don't worry about how undifferentiated the language sounds. Every new language sounds that way - impossible to tell the space between words. Being totally immersed, you'll begin to pick out sounds and then words. I hope I get to visit you, after you've got everything figured out. Love, Mom Gorgeous pictures! Always carry a book or your ipod and water when going to run errands. Don’t worry about how undifferentiated the language sounds. Every new language sounds that way – impossible to tell the space between words.

I hope I get to visit you, after you’ve got everything figured out.

At last I have managed to access my own blog (easier said than done), and satiate my immense curiosity as to the identity of one Andrew Strauss! You are going to have an excellent time in China! I would tell you to prepare yourself for a culture shock, but I thought I had done so, and it's actually impossible! Every day here is an adventure and a challenge, especially trying to learn Mandarin! We have two classes a week and my progress is slow, but you will really benefit from living with Chinese speakers. Mail me if you have any questions - I know I had soooo much to ask before I got here! Best of luck with your final preparations! Ah ha!

Your hair is puffy! 2) Welcome to the world of China. A land of low prices and inefficiency. 3) I can totally tell that you took those pictures with a higher-than-normal quality camera...somehow. Especially the "Dad and Crista at the piano" one. I'm going to feel like a dumbass if you took those with your old Sony. 4) What's the code to make your website put a little icon up in the address bar? 1) Whoa dude! Your hair is puffy!
