We went on a small city tour this morning. Basically just the Nanjing City wall and a place where they are famous for silk weaving. I was more impressed with the silk weaving (there is a name for it but I’m at a loss now), two people work this eight hundred year old machine and only produce a piece two and a half feet wide by five centimeters long. I could not imagine doing it all day long.
The honeymoon is starting to wear off, last night Schwen and I were fighting over the TV. Her ripping through all the cable channels non-stop, all blaring in mandarin, was getting old so I took the remote set it on one channel and she was mad every time a commercial came on and wanted it changed. You can tell they used the TV a lot in the orphanage……. she will get a rude awakening at Radloff house.
Really part of the problem is that there is absolutely nothing for a active five year old to do around here, no parks, not much grass, you can only walk around the shopping areas so many times. Anna is taking us out to dinner tonight at a restaurant that is supposed to be good. She has been a great help here it would have been a lot harder to do this without her.
