Our neighbor, Kate, who's mom is the other Fulbrighter here, turned 11 today, so we had the fun of another birthday party..with real ice cream form Wal-Mart. Happy Birthday Kate..sorry the picture is a little fuzzy..I still wanted to use it because her grandma checks the blog! She is head on a weekend jaunt to Shanghai with her mom...not every day you turn 11 after all. She and Thomas are both Rats (Chinese zodiac) and as this is the Rat year coming up in February at the Lunar new year, this is an auspicious year for both of them, I guess.
Its been nice having another kid here..even though Thomas hardly talks to her since she's a girl (and vice versa), they spend long periods of time emailing and instant messaging on the computer to each other and their friend in Xi'an. We will sure miss them when they leave, as they are only staying one semester :(
