Now...trying to bring this back on track... I think we need an update from Arnold about how the driving lessons are going.
Funny you say that , that is what I was going to do today . I also have some Photo's to share .
Friday night after I got home and showered , we went to my favorite Chinese Buffet here in Lancaster . Of course I ate like a Pig that I am when it comes to chinese Food ( yes even here ) . I was surprised how much Qing was eating this time , which was of course good to see , that she enjoyed it . What really made me glad to have come here , was that she started in no time to talk to the Waiter's and Waitresses that were all chinese and knew Mandarin at least . Not like the Sushi place where all Chef's were from Korea and not a word Japanese among them , after Qing started just to talk away in Japanese to them . I had a good laugh , when I realized they could not understand one word . Anyway , as I alway's have fun with chinese People .. writing character's down on Napkins and hand it to them and watch them react to it . I must say , we had a wonderful time talking to many there for quite a while . One of the Waiter's even told us about a Free School for English as a second Language . It happens to be about 10 miles away from our House . So this of course creates a problem for my Sweetheart . No Bus , Taxi or Train here . Too far to walk , which I would not let her do anyway .. in this crazy Society . So it looking for a School closer to Home . Which we will check out a couple today and see how far they are away .
About her driving lesson's , she did get her second yesterday . She actually stepped on the Gas pedal a little this time , but was very afraid , as she has not yet the feel of using the Steering Wheel to actually steer the Car with . I am in for ... or she is in for quite a few lesson's I think before becoming comfortable to just drive the darn thing with NO other Car in a mile radius . I'm already starting to think , maybe it would be better to enroll her into a driving school instead . I will be patient as much as possible trying it myself first , but we do need to see some procress happening .
About Qing being homesick , nothing yet .. I can see . But , her little Boy ( Tianchi ) is asking her already .. when she will be back ? That has me worried some , as we both like him to learn to read and write in chinese for a couple of year's at least . By that time Qing can Travel back to Shanghai and he can come with us then , no need for him to fly by himself to LA . This is our Plan as of now . We do think this is the best for his interest , if he ever decides .. wanting to go back to China as a grown-up . We see how this play's out , after all he is in great hand's with Qing's Parent's .
Well here are some Photo's that I promised .
Photo's with my late wife's Sister and her Husband . The Couple that went to Shanghai for our wedding ceremony ( she is from the Phillipines ) . Qing's first real X-mas Tree , that we both put up together . Took a drive up the Mountain to overlook all of Palmdale and Lancaster . Some of the wonton's she made one afternoon . They stood like Soldier's in a Parade . Talking about Delicious ... is an understatement . The last Photo is of a great friend of mine . He also met his wife over the Internet ( from Indonesia ) .
