The visitors left today. I will be go for my regular massages tommorow!

Faith: Grandma will take you to the artist and you can watch him paint.

Sunday Tour

Walk on the beach.
Exhibition Hall still under construction. Shape of wave and a sail structure

A big smile after shopping.


The artist who paint my name and well wishes into a small good luck glass bottle! He is very skillful. Everyone is given this gift from him because we made such "big purchases" (average S$50.00 per person)



My Guests - Walter and Deborah. Very satisfied buyers!




A tour to the city

Nov. 16th 2008 - Sunday
This is another busy sunday! I played Tourist Guide for 2 US Visitors!
(Me, Tourist Guide? Only 3 months in Qingdao?)

I did well as Tourist Guide! My visitors are very happy at the end of the day!

The day started at 10 am. I rented a private car (it cost S$52 per day include driver).

We took only 20 minutes to get to the City of Qingdao (because today is Sunday, the traffic was not heavy). The weather was fantastic - sunny and temp at 15 degreeC!

We drove along the coastline, walk on the beach, visit the parks, shop by the ocean front!
Shopping included pearl and seashell necklaces, precious stone bracelets, cow-horn combs, binoculars and keychains.

We had seafood lunch by the seafront (costs S$70 for 3).

We left the City approx 4 pm (We are happy with our reasonably priced purchases!).

We end the day with foot massage and manicure and more shopping at the mall in hometown.
We bought handbags, wallets and shirts.

The tour ended at 8 pm!

Will post photos.

Tommorow is expected to be cold - 3 to 10 degreeC.
The office temp will be OK because the heater in the building has turn on.
The bad news is : Where I live, the building is only 20% occuppied, they decided not to turn on the heater! I bought extra mobile heaters for the apartment.
When the children are here next month, I hope this will be warm enough - I will monitor.

Love & Miss All of You!

Look at the heavy Mist. This is at 8 am outside my apartment. Temp around 15 degreeC


Urh, I love this best. Faith's fur coat with matching handbag (not in picture).
I am anxious for your visits to Qingdao to try out these wonderful buys!
And, firecrackers and fireworks will be waiting for the children to enjoy themselves!
I cannot promise snow..... but hope children will see snowfalls!
Love,



All my First Time.

Hello Folks! Sorry for not posting for a long time as I have been busy! This is good as I don't feel bored. These are all my Firsts.
Date : Nov 1st - First time, I tasted a deep fried silk work cacoon. I was told it was not well fried thus it tasted a bit soft. Otherwise, there is no funny taste. I survived!

Date: Nov 5th: First time I see so much mist! (see photo). The weather is getting colder.

Date: Nov 11th: First time I can blow out 'steam' as I walk on the street. The temp has dropped daily. Today it is 13 degreeC. I start to put on layers plus Lambswool cardigan!

Shopping Spree: Nov. 10th - I shop for 4 hours and spent 1000 rmb. I bought 10 pieces garments. I guess I am one of the big buyer as I had unbelievable service. I was escorted to membership lounge for tea and noodles (for lunch). They carried my 5 shopping bags to the door and hail a cab for me. World class service. I will go back to the mall again next week.
Please see photos on the coats and jackets I bought for Faith and Isaac. They will be protected from the cold weather when they are here next month!

Love all of You!
