We arrived exactly 1 year ago in China, and found out today that we are officially approved for a 2nd year in China. For some odd reason, we had to submit legal paperwork separately. Karl’s went through a week or so ago. Today Lila got the good news. With a renewed apartment lease and work visas – we’re good to go for year #2.
During last night’s dinner, we reminisced about everything that’s happened in the past year…
- Moved to China, with 2 new jobs
- Traveled to Vietnam, Portugal, Switzerland, the Olympics, Hangzhou, the Silk Road, & 4 water villages
- Started to (try to) learn Chinese
- Navigated Shanghai’s silk market, fabric markets, multiple wet markets, and our friend’s favorite: the fake market – as well as learned how to buy DVDs, how to negotiate in Chinese, and how to order food
- Celebrated our 1 year anniversary
- For work, Karl traveled to Singapore, Japan, and around China; Lila to Italy (country#66), Portugal (country#67), Chile, Panama, & Mexico
- We both got to be more active in the World Economic Forum
It’s been truly amazing!
