Day 68 - March 14th

Today I got up around 8:00am. Tom and Grace moved in last night so I spent a bit of the morning helping them get settled in. Mike and I rushed over to the gym for a quick workout. We had to meet Tom, Grace, Carmen, Karma and Grace for lunch at the office. Mike and I got held up a bit at the gym. One of our friends there had gone out to get Mike a cake for his birthday. Quite a nice gesture. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to hang out with them a bit more. At the office I had lunch with the whole group. Mandarin class was a little shorter today. Even still, it is getting a little overwhelming. After class we did some shopping at the nearby market and grocery store. At the grocery store I talked to the manager of the hot pot for a little bit. When I say talk I really mean interact with. Back at the flat, Tom and I made a stir-fry and rice dinner. It was pretty good. After dinner Tom, Mike and I sat around talking for a good hour or so. In the evening I got caught up on my emails and of course my blogging. Tomorrow I have a lot to do. Saturday is really my only day to do school work. In Him
