So.. Ja... It has been a while. Ha. It looks like I'm speaking to a priest... Anyways..
The show is already behind me (It went well), my first Christmass in China has passed, and that year will be a good one... The next new (Chinese) Newyear is on its way, I will have more classes, I will reach my goals in gongfu, we will perhaps move after the summer and we will certainly marry by that time.
Today was a really good day. This morning I used my creditcard again in China and I was able to take out 2500RMB! I was so excited that I spontaneously kissed Xue Lin on the street. We really needed that many after all that medical trouble and because I now have two months holiday and then still will not get my salary for another month.
Several days ago we were also excited when a small package arrived in the post. My mother had sent it to me more than six and a half weeks earlier and I couldn't wait any longer. But THEN the woman at the post office was a FILTHY WHORE!!! She would not give us the package because we didn't have an ID card with us. But when we went again the next day we stood suprised. The small packet was GIGANTIC. My mother had told me that it was small! We then went home at the speed of sound to open it. We were quite satisfied with what was in it. Xue Lin had a big problem with eating Macaroni & Cheese (???) and tried to first cook it with honey (WTF) and then Chinese style... Not such a good idea... The sweets were finished soon. =P Xue Lin would like to go to Holland to see what delicious things she could eat there. My mother had also put in a few coloured socks and a shawl for Xue Lin and she immediately called her Father to tell him... Cute. ;) Also, we received two silver little things to put on a necklace. A wooden shoe and a windmill. We have decided to use them when we will get engaged in a few weeks. Today we bought some necklaces after we had the extra money.
My whole family and her whole family accept us. Thank you everyone.
Random observation of today: The only thing the Chinese make quicker than buildings is babies.
