Well, our Kiwi friends have all departed. We had a wonderful 10 days together and can't wait for them to come back again. More on their visit hopefully soon...
We leave Monday for Xi'an, China and then Tuesday we will head to Hong Kong. Hopefully there will be no problems with the flights, as the New Zealanders had quite a lot of trouble with theirs.
And I also hope that the internet is working a lot better in Hong Kong and Thailand then it is up here in Xining. It is maddening. Anybody currently trying to send us email please know that it might not be received for quite a while. I found a great article explaining what it has been like for all of us China netizens. Check it out for a laugh.
Our old laptop finally died. I needed it to last just one more week so that I could transfer all our docs to the new laptop before we travel, but of course it didn't make it. So I took the hard drive out to put it in our portable hard drive case. I was able to get most of the data over, including our Outlook files, but some of it seems corrupted somehow. Another task to waste time on...
It was great having a team here in January, although a little cold. Normally we are just waiting to be able to go south for warmer weather, but this year we were very busy. Perhaps we should schedule visitors every year in Jan.

This is the first time I have visited your blog site... I'm not too tuned into stuff like this. But I love it. What a great way to feel connected to you all!!!
How is the internet going. We are hoping to get into the mid 20's for temperatures here. It has been terribly cold. I think we will be above freezing sometime next week. I went to a conference in Minnesota last week and it was even colder there. I barely left the hotel.
How about a new post Bohrer!
