Greetings from China! so far jetlag has been at the most, insignificant. Our plan worked like a charm and were married yesterday.

Today we've been running around with one document and I'm clueless what it's all about. Something about registering with the police but that's all i know and Xindi won't let me concern myself with it. We just stopped by her place, a one room box with a bed, desk, dresser and armuar(sp). She ran down and got me a pizza and some smoked sausage and grabbed the bags with the papers and pulled the bed covers for me to rest while she heads out to get whatever this thing is done. Figured I'd enjoy my chinese pizza and write ya guys.

:mrgreen: That's my jealousy face Ed.  Congratulations on the marriage.  

I've heard that you have to register with the local police as a foreigner if you're not in a hotel.  I believe hotels take care of that for ya.

i heard that too but we just changed hotels to a nicer one that was slightly cheaper and larger. more convenient to downtown too. Her cousin works there or something. Just not sure what she's working on for certain but I'm not supposed to worry bout it so I need to sit here and listen to American easy listening music, listening to downtown horns or the taxi commando force and relax till my baby returns.

updated my blog btw. It's day one but really covers like two days since with the 15hr difference and passing the international dateline. I'm hoping we can stop this running around so I can start taking gobs of pictures. There's so much to shoot around here. China is an amazing place. The mayhem of traffic even has it's own sence of order. It's like some secret courtesy that everyone abides by, even pedestrians.

I was tellin Xindi I was hoping to find some milk. That's not such an easy thing here and the first attempt must have been something for children cause it was super sweet. So shortly ago she shows up with my chinese pizza and something called Monmilk. It's not the same but for someone like me who has a passion for whole milk, and not a light passion at that, it's not a bad substitute.

the whole bare feet, socks, slippers deal is something that as far as i can tell only needs to be accepted. There's no other answer. Don't even think of explaining you like hanging out in your socks cause she wont buy it. HAHA. If I'm not fast enough, I can be in mid-stream of taking my socks n shoes off and she'll come over and take over. I'm slowly but surely being spoiled. haha.

Ya know folks. The language barrier isnt too bad if you just be patient? Xindi and I use quite a bit of body language? the pocket translator? googletranslate? Notice the funny periods?Her comp has started trying to do chinese for me again and I cant figure out how to shut it off?haha?

ok? too hard to type like this? I'll write more from my laptop when we're back at the hotel
