LEAVING FOR THANKSGIVING IN BEIJING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

DANA'S GOOD FRIEND DR. TRICIA TAKES HER BY THE HAND AND LEADS TO TO QUICK AND APPROPRIATE MEDICAL CARE. TRICIA IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR WHO HAD MADE HOUSE CALLS AND WALKS US THROUGH THE MAZE OF HOSPITAL, DOCTOR AND PHARMACY NEEDS. SHE IS VERY KIND AND GRACIOUS. WE REALLY APPRECIATE HER. DANA HAS NOW JOINED THE HAND HOLDING CULTURE SHE DID NOT PREVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND. ALL THE GIRLS DO IT!


DON'T WORRY ABOUT US, WE ARE JUST FINE....AS WE NOW HAVE OUR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS FILLED, BP'S TAKEN AND SOME BLOOD WORK FOR ANALYSIS AND SOME REAL GOOD MEDICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO STAY HEALTHY -- THE CHINESE WAY. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS ARE QUITE CHEAP EVEN AS WE PAY FULL PRICE IN THE PHARMACY. HOSPITAL VISITS, DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS ARE FREE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

IN THE MORNING WE ARE ARISING AT 5:00 AM AND HEADING FOR THE BULLET TRAIN STATION. WE LEAVE AT 7:00 AM AND SHOULD ARRIVE IN BEIJING AT 10:00 AM. WE ARE PACKING A LUNCH.

WE WILL BE IN BEIJING FOR 4 DAYS AND RETURN SUNDAY NIGHT BY 10:00 PM. WE PRAY FOR A GOOD TRIP.

LIFE IS GOOD. WE HAVE OUR LITTLE CONCERNS EACH DAY WITH A FEW LITTLE PICKY THINGS, BUT WE ARE REALLY HAPPY AND GIVING OF OURSELVES HERE. WE ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND TAKEN CARE OF.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT US, BUT PRAY FOR OUR SUCCESS. THANKS AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

JAY & DANA THELIN,
SHANDONG UNIVERSITY,

I cant believe that mom is a hand holder now. That is so funny. Mom I am proud of how you are adapting to the Chinese culture.
