So happy for you!!!

It sounds like you've had a fabulous time. Is it going to be hard for you to leave, or are you terribly excited?

Mazel Tov!

How old is Ping Ping? What does "Ping" mean? How well does she speak English? She sounds delightful, and I look forward to hearing about all of her adventures in America.

A Chinese friend of mine told be that you should never shorten a double name. The double name is abundance, and to shorten it is to limit it and reduce it. For example, Yi Yi is Happy Happy, but if you shorten it then you cut her happiness in half!

She is 13, almost 14. Ping Ping means Peaceful.

She has very little English, which is the big stumbling block now.
