So many seem to suffer in this part of the world the past few weeks. First there was the cyclone in Myanmar, now quakes in china, and the bombs in India.
It has been hard to post anything positive.
I am broken hearted for all those parents who lost their ONLY child in the earth quakes. Chinese people invest everything in that one child...
I hear about people giving money and blood in Shanghai and Beijing on the news but around here life seems to go on normally.
Thanks for your messages. We are fine.
We are ahead of the US by 12-15 hours and Ethiopia 5 hours.
With the time difference and all, it looks like you guys have been getting more information about it than me.
I have been asleep.
As of this Tuesday morning (Monday evening for those in the US, middle of the night for those in Ethiopia)I am watching CNN and following the situation.
I am just finding out the estimated number of people killed is at 10,000!
My thoughts are with people who lost loved ones.
I am no longer stuck in the house although I am supposed to take it easy.
I saw my doctor on Friday and she seems to think things are progressing well.
About a week ago, I also spoke to a midwife in the US who reassured me that going out of the house is okay just nothing too strenuous.
One of these days, we would like to go to Japan for vacation.
And when we do, I hope we would stop by this place.
Only in Asia!
Husband comes home.
Him: "I really like that pastry shop. It was nice because they have Chinese as well English descriptions under every treat. So, at least you know what you are buying!"
Me: "Really? that is great! What did you bring? I am dying for some sweets."
Him: "I got you some glazed donuts and I got myself this"
He holds up a package.
Me: "Hummm. What is that?"
Him: "I don't know. The English description said 'UFO'"
Oy, these stores!
They try to cater to dumb foreigners like us but they are still not helpful even when they try!
