turbulence

My dear husband left for the States this afternoon. Me-Mom-Dad took him to the airport to send him off.
He texted me a few hours ago when he was transiting in Taipei, Taiwan, the flight was super scary. Crazy turbulence happened several times, it freaks him out (takes a lot of effort to freak him out)
I was scared for him, but happy he is still alive.
If we were together we might have holding hands and say that we love each other.

Hope the Taipei-Seattle flight will be ALL MUCH better.

I love husband, a lot

German Town, Leavenworth

There is a tourist destination at Leavenworth, called German Town.
A town, modified so it looks like a little town in Germany.

I went there with Seni and her family, and some of her other friends.

It was a beautiful sunny day, a little bit cold, but really nice.
It takes about 2 hours to get there.

And here are some pictures from the trip :
Seni, Ethan and me 


October fest, beer ! 
I drank that amount of beer on my mug 

LUNCH !

Baby Ren with the GIRLS !

Me, Seni, Vanessa, Yuka

Victorian Royal Family.... LOL

Too bad Bill cant come due to the load of study that he have to do.
Or else, the trip will be so much more fun.

Thank you for everything, ppl !

Short Trip to Malaysia & Singapore


Me and Ma took a short trip to Malay and Singapore on July 10-15, 2010
The main reason to go to Malay is to see my best friend, Fiona, who is my classmate back in Beijing, 2007.
We talked so much about making a trip to see each other, and not until this time it happens !
And I proposed her to be my bridesmaid next year, and she said YES !
I also get to know her fiancé, Alvin and his family.
They're awesome !
Below are some pictures from the trip
Meet my best friend Fiona and my new good friend Alvin (they're my fave couple!)








We stayed 2 nights in Fiona's house, and on Monday July 12, Fiona took us to the bus station to continue our journey to Singapore....

Photos from Singapore :

After Jurassic Park the Ride, WET !


With Ryan, A dearest Singapore Airlines Stewardess Friend :)

In Malaysia, we got a really great friends with even more great hospitality,
In Singapore we are alone, but we took lots  of public transportation and it's super convenient.

Nice trip !

黄山 a.k.a MOUNT YELLOW part 2

After stopping at Guang Ming Ding, me and ma continue walked the steps to the hotel, people said it is another 3km to go !! (WTF !)
So, we take our time, and walk our passage to the hotel.
Some flowers we saw during walking :

The flowers are so pretty, they helped to cheer up my mom, who obviously struggling when she climbed the stairs.

Finally after a long walk, we arrived in the hotel, immediately checked in, went to the restaurant to get lunch (mad expensive!), we got some left over and decided to bring it back to our hotel, so the others can eat it.
Our room is a 8 people bedroom, with 4 bunk beds. We're the first one who got in, so we choose the bottom bunk bed, near the bathroom, since its seems to be the cleanest one, and the one near the window has molds and we don't want to be in the top, because we don't want to climb more stairs !

We took a shower, then RESTING. We fall asleep immediately, and I didn't wake up till Bill called me, he has arrived.

Everyone checked in to their room, but only our room (mine and bill's) has bathroom, so they took turns to take a shower.
This is situation in our bedroom when our friends are waiting for their turns to take a shower
The girls, Tarcy and Xuying took shower in our bedroom, while the boys in Bill's bedroom

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third day came, and it is time to go back to the cable car and go down.
The walk will took 2 hours !
But we have to do it anyways, so we walk our way, and it was sunny, so it's nice to walk
Below are some pictures :
 You can have people carried you on their shoulder with this cart. Costs quite a lot, but worth the money if you have a painful joints
Can you see people climbing up that crazy steep stairs ?? We have to climb them too later on.
View from the bottom of the crazy steep stairs.
Mom took the carriage when doing this one
View from the top. Mad crazy ! I didn't dare to go too far to take pictures, I'm scared I might fall down and then I'll become some puzzles for people to solved (or to scooped and throw to the garbage bin)

Some view of the steps we did

Down below you can see the city...Far away down...

Finally, we reached the cable car stop, and we're waiting for Jay, Allen, Xuying and Lloyd, who still have enough strength to see some scenic spots.
Ma, Bill, Tarcy.
Bill was having a major knee pain, as a result of crazy loop he did the day before.
Me and hairstyle of the day, Chun Li !

We took the bus back to Shanghai, arrived at around 6pm, then we ate at Da Marco, Italian Restaurant, head home, showered and passed out.

It was a nice trip !

Mom in Shanghai

On May 29th, Mom arrived in Shanghai Pudong Airport.
I woke up early to pick her up in the airport, and it was joy to see her again.
We took Maglev until LongYang Rd Station, then we took taxi to go home
Here she is in the Maglev, which runs at 300km/h speed


And her with the Shanghai Expo's mascot

When she was here, she got to meet my colleagues,got some lunch with them, and also she made laksa, and I brought the girls home to eat together, and they love it !

Once I'm done with work, she and I took a little city exploration trip, which means, I took her to a place where they sell all the ribbon, laces, etc. My mom loves that stuffs.
And of course we should take pictures at the Bund

We went to West Nanjing Rd Area, to do some shopping and eating experience, I picked 南翔小笼包 (NanXiang XiaoLongBao)
 you have to sip the juice !!

We took a train trip to Hangzhou,

walk down to 西湖 (XiHu Lake) took a long time, so we took some breaks as you can see,
 Sit together with this big family on the side of the street
Some pedestrian Street in Hangzhou
 resting on our way to 西湖

And finally 西湖 !!!

Second Day we took train from Hangzhou to Suzhou,
I was starving, so when we get in to Suzhou, 1st thing is to get lunch on a small restaurant recommended by Bill (based on Dianping review)
Lunch for two, Broccoli, fishes, and chicken !

We went to an old house for sightseeing, and on the way, there is this foreigner, obviously a tourist, sat down with a bunch of chinese guy and play cards. I asked his permission to take a picture, and below is him, in blue shirt, playing cards
 On the way in, the gate was decorated with this

A family used to live in this house
We leave the old house, and headed to the wedding market, I bought a wedding dress to be wear in US and a party dress.
Then we head to Suzhou Train Station, very tired

We rest for one day, then we are preparing to go to 黄山 (Yellow Mountain) on Friday.
It will be on the next post.
