New Family

Well, once again I have a new family here in Changxing.


You might remember the dad...He was the guy I me making the fried yo-
bings in the street.

The fellow in the right is his son. His Chinese name is You Bing. He didn't have an English name but wanted one...I named him Chad. He reminds me of my brother Chad.

And this is Sophia.


And Mom.


Her Aunt owns a little clothing store near by.



When the usual crowd gathered around her store as we took pictures everybody wanted in on the action.



They own a little shop that sells duck. Duck legs, duck necks, duck feet and just about every other part of the duck. You can also buy you-
bings, ice cream and drinks.


I had some of the photos developed and took them a copy.



I also had lunch with some other Chinese friends today.
This is
Zhou Qing...She works on the floor above the school. She sells Am-Way products in the evening and she is an accountant during the day.


Hmmm...Hot egg and fish pudding....I Passed. I tried it at the lake...Not my cup of tea!

The woman on the right is a doctor at a nearby hospital....She spoke a little English.



We had shrimp, fish, fish soup(the kind with the whole little white fish in it)and a first for me here in China...Broccoli.


Fish soup.


I still haven't been able to peel these guys in my mouth. I have to peel them like back home in America...With my hands....What a rookie.


And some of these bread things that you filled with greens and pork.


But lord knows...I'm eating good!



Quote of the day.
