Our move to Guangzhou, China

Rick and I made it to China after traveling around the world for over 30 hours door to door. We arrived at our apartment in Guangzhou around 2 am Sunday night with the Andersons from Salt Lake and 2 student helpers from South China University of Technology (SCUT).  

This is a picture of us at the Pocatello airport with all of out suitcases.  We had 300 pounds of luggage that traveled with us for 7031 miles.  Alison from our yoga class made the candy leis for our trip so that we would have snacks on our travels. 

We were surprised to find a logo piece from our grandson in the handle pocket of our suitcase. It went to China with us. 

This is a picture of us on campus at SCUT on Monday morning. As you can see will still had on the same clothes because we had another volunteer student ready to take us around campus to help with our internet connection, campus ID and banking. We were finally able to take a shower and change clothes later that day.  It has been a whirlwind of activity for us but we finally have our 800 square foot apartment all organized and livable. The Andersons took us into town today to shop at IKEA and to buy groceries along the way.  

We bought some fruit on the way home. This little fruit lady had an interesting method of weighing the fruit.
