2010

2010 has arrived. Here is the start:

Alan and I began the new year in George Square, Glasgow. Deacon Blue, hands that were blue with the cold.

Snow all over Scotland.

We made it to the airport to fly back to Suzhou and as we waited for the plane the snow intensified.

Suzhou now seems like a tropical paradise in comparison to Scotland and Suzhou is FREEZING. We have discovered that to ever be warm in our apartment we need to keep the heating running ALL THE TIME. When I say heating, I mean air conditioning. ALL THE TIME. We are accelerating global warming at an alarming rate with our ridiculous air conditioning usage.

First week at school flew by.

Birthday party last night. Dancing, singing, tequila.

Today chilled out. Bonded with some Chinese waiters over a ridiculously rude customer from Australia. One waitress was very upset. Her name was Air. She said "Air. Fresh Air is my name."
