It’s amazing just how quickly friends become like family when one is living abroad. We are all in the same situation over here; none of us have family in China therefore we learn to lean on each other instead. So, when someone has a birthday, we must celebrate! Carol and Melissa took me out for my birthday when they had only met me once. I had no idea that they would become such dear friends. I truly do not know what I would do without them. Thanks Melissa and Carol!
Carol turned 26 on Sunday; so on Saturday, her fiancé surprised her with a night on the town that included a jazz club, and ice bar and dinner with a view of the Bund. Jim and I had our first night out without Jameson since the weekend before we left the States.

The Pearl Tower and Bund are so lovely at night...
This week Jameson and I finally visited the Shanghai Aquarium and made another trip to Century Park. We are both fighting a virus that makes us nauseous, tired, sniffly and so on, so our week was a little quieter than usual. Please pray that this virus goes away before Saturday when I have a chance to play and sing for Touching Heaven at AGIF Pudong.
Please also pray that I may find a keyboard soon so that I may practice at home. Although I sing every day, I miss being able to play the piano daily and my skills are suffering from the lack of practice.

Of course they had to do a China pose with the obligatory peace sign...
