Friday was such a fun day! Bond paid for us teachers to take a bus to Guangzhou and go to the opening ceremonies to a week-long Guangdong province tourism convention. The show was a ton of fun and Jackie Chan even sang! I was thrilled to see him in real life. I'll post more about this with photos when I get Katsumoto (soon to be Kaito) up and running. According to the company from which I purchased his new drive, the package cleared customs nearly a week ago and should be here any day now.
For now, I'll just post something that doesn't require pictures.

YOU SAW JACKIE CHAN IN PERSON?!?! That's so cool! He has an awesome voice. I do hope that no mind-tricking was necessary to obtain the new hard drive. However, if it was, I'm glad that you were able to use it effectively.
Wait...Bond paid for you? You know James Bond?!?! Oooo! Pictures! Ooohhhh...wait. I get it.
Wow, you saw Jackie Chan!? In China?! How cool is that. I jsut have one question, is your computer getting a sex change?
Yay for Kaito! I'm glad you decided to maintain the Japanese theme. It was really the way to go. Though, you may want to explain to your mom that Kaito is not a female name. :) And I'm gonna steal your cool blogging thing and do it on Facebook, mokay?
First of all, what is your mother talking about?? Second, I enjoyed reading your list. Are you so excited that you're coming home soon? I miss you! Hugs and kisses from Aunt Kelly
