It's all on schedule! The China Reunion Tour is set for spring break. Jason, Shannon and Emmanuelle are making the long journey from Regina and we'll meet in Beijing. Then it's back on the ol' China railway for a ride to small town Shandong, where we are going to a wedding of some very good friends from the Shiyan days. After that we'll head for mighty Wuhan, a big city close to our former home in Hubei. It will be great to spend a couple days here, purely to reconnect with some really special friends (people don't go to Wuhan to see the sights!).
Of course, what I'm most excited about is seeing the people, but I'm also looking forward to being back in the real China again- with all of its stares, surprises, laughable signage, cute squishable little faces, funny and friendly men waving "hullo!!" and tasty, tasty dishes. It will be fun to whip out what's left of the old Mandarin, too. (Now I find myself swapping my Mandarin for Cantonese, or a combination of what I understand from the two). And, to share another China adventure with J and S will be a ton of fun. Throw the ultimately squishy Elle into the mix, and we should have ourselves a pretty great trip!!
