Today has been a pretty nice day so far. We met up with a contact Brandon has in China (Jenn). We spent a LOT of time in Starbucks either drinking coffee, eating snacks or feeding her baby. Then she was so helpful in showing me the shops to find food that we're familiar with. I am amazed! So far, compared with Prague, so many more things from America are available here... including my favorite soup: Progresso Tomato Basil! There is even Land o' Lakes chedder cheese. Wow! She also calmed my fears about China milk by explaining the safe vs. unsafe options.

Lydia was very tired of walking by 2:00 and longing for our car or a taxi ride. She notices the 'interesting' smells instantly (and loudly proclaims her feelings about them). Marcus is continuously caught off-guard by the constant car horns. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure he's ever heard a car honk before! Such a strange, new set of smells and noises for all of us.
