Everything I Love About China

It's shaped like a giant chicken with its feet cut off!







Because the feet are the tastiest part.

Hi Everybody!

I guess I better hurry and write something before people start calling China and asking for me. If you've been thinking I drowned in a bowl of noodles or was eaten by a dragon (they have those here) don't worry I'm safe and sound, although there was a noodle incident, but I was never really in much danger, just a bit tangled.

The reason I haven't blogged in so long was because the batteries in the mouse died and the new ones were all the way over there. So my husband brought me over the laptop but he left before I could tell him it had no power and to please plug it in. So instead of turning my head slightly to the left to see if there was an outlet nearby, I decided to teach my kids about outlet safety: only plug things in if Mommy tells you to. We've got a really neat laptop that takes 2 months to charge, so that's the reason for my absence.

Anyway, we all made it to China, and I'm able to blog from behind the bamboo curtain because we have an American IP address, yippee! Now I can rummage through all of your blarbage without my IP address giving me away. And I can access sights like hulu and cwtv.com; I don't think I could go on living without knowing who America's Next Top Model was.

I just need to be careful about what I say about China, or the next time you see me I'll be on display at the body worlds exhibit, skinless and playing shuffleboard.

So yahoo, I'm able to blog, but because I'm millions of miles away from my birth family, I think I'll just use this blog as a way to keep them up to date on our wacky China life. I may even rename this blog "The Tong Family Adventures: Our Zany Life in a Blogshell".
Most of my posts will probably look a little something like this:


Picture Overload!


Today we went to China. It was fun. The kids were really good on the airplane and the food was actually pretty good, too. LOL!







This is just a picture I took while we were waiting at the San Fran airport. The chairs weren't very comfy but that didn't stop Z from taking a little nap, lol. He's so crazy!





Evan loved the flat escalators. When Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes over our home I'll ask them to put one in his airport themed room.











Remember that scene in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, when they're all sleeping in the blue lego?
It's so romantic! ~sigh~





So everyone feel free to extinguish your visits to this blog; it's about to get pretty normal in here.
