Sorry for the late post blog obsessed people!



We are late posting because we were watching a movie I bought for Mac called Firehouse Dog (cost 1.00) with Katie and Christina the nurse in her air conditioned apartment. It was lovely we had popcorn and water. Great evening. Just got Mac to bed at 10:00pm We are off to church with Robin and Joyce, tomorrow. We saw some amazing sights on our journey and some of them are captured in the pictures throughout this post.


We had a great day in Beijing with Rose and her sister Diana. We went to a number of real cool markets much different than silk market and way less pushy. Got some great deals I have become a die hard bargainer and even picked up a couple of DVD's for 1 dollar. I got a bunch of other stuff as well.



We saw a number of Chinesse Weddings which I have included a picture of.


We ate at McDonalds for lunch and it was so crowded we had to eat outside.


I must back up and say that Mac spent a half hour in the baby room before we left she couldn't bare to be without them for a whole day. After McDonald's we went to another market and then to a place called jenny lou's for a few essential western style groceries including mac and cheesse and some diet coke two essentials here in China. I have not had coffee basically the whole time I have been here but miss it. The coffee isn't that great. I will look forward to Timmy's when I return home.

Anyway when we got home we had lovely invitations on our bed from Katie for a girl's party tomrrow at 6pm. Robin is taking Joyce out for her birthday so we are going to have a party with Katie, Christina, Mac and I. We went swimming when we got home and then off to watch the movie.

I am sorry it isn't a longer post but I want to get back as Mac is sleeping in the other side of the building. Enjoy the pics of the countryside and the town of BeiWu where we are living.


Take care
Love, Shauna and MacLean xo

Hey - Dan is in the Firehouse Dog movie - did you see him? He is the electrician - a small but vital role......there are no small parts only small actors

Hi Shauna and MacLean,
We arrived home last night. We had a fabulous week in Anhui after we left you and the group and then a short day and half in Shanghai. Of course we are all awake at 5am and raring to go-but there is nowhere to go!
I can't believe how much I miss China right now. Previous trips to Asia have always ended with delight in returning home. This time it's different for me. I am finding Canada dull-ie nothing going on in the streets-cold( less than 20)and drab(hasn't rained here since we left). Love seeing your experience at Hope. What a privilege to experience something like this.
Steven and I would like to do something similar one day. I can't wait to return to China.
Sam and Chunsey both had a great time and also look forward to returning.
Hugs to both of you-will follow you until you return.
Trudy, Steven, Chunsey and Sam
