Did you know that the title of this blog is actually Chinglish? I have used that phrase so many times, but never realized (until I moved here) that it is actually a direct translation from the Chinese way to say “I haven’t seen you in such a long time!” Ha!
Anyway, things have been crazy lately. Busy, busy. With work, language lessons, and a few other balls in the air, I haven’t had much time to blog. Sorry, family!! I will try to do better!
Last weekend was a 3 day weekend for the Tomb Festival, which meant that Bo and I got to spend a beautiful spring Monday doing whatever we wanted. And we wanted to fly a kite.
Bo brought this huge panda kite home a few weeks ago and I died laughing. But it was fun to fly it, and the kids in our neighborhood enjoyed seeing it up in the air… for the 5 minutes we flew it before the wind died for the rest of the day. No joke. We spent an hour stringing the thing up, and 5 minutes flying it. But at least I brought my camera!!

Just wondering is Chinglish anything like Spanglesh? Next time get out and go sing with the taxi driver, then you could become the famous American Singer in China.
