welcome to Changsha, Hunan.....CHINA!
we love it here and can't believe how quick we are getting used to life here.
we have already done so much, hiking, shopping, visited an orphanage, got a chinese massage and nails, went to karaoke, ice skating, watched the fireworks, went to a movie.....oh and I'm teaching english at a pre-school! I love my life:)
Blogspot is blocked here in China but my friend
has this thing that gets through the firewall so I can only blog every once in a while so what you are going to get is a lot of pictures and very few words....hope you enjoy! Next time I'll explain a little more about our life!
Miss you all and hope all is well in the states:)
