small victories

Liss and I both feel like we are generally pretty efficient people.  Liss especially can whip up a task list and start blazing through it, crossing things off before you can blink.  We're finding that the China version of Jon and Liss is a little less productive, though....at least for now. Little things that should be so simple, take forever to check off of the list because of the uncertainty that comes with doing things for the first time.  "Buy a notebook" is part of an easy Target run in the states, so we can't figure out why it made itself at home on our to do list for 2 days.  I guess that's life though, when you try something new and different.  Even though we are not quite up to speed, every day we are learning and expanding our experience.  For now, we invite you to celebrate our small victories with us....grocery shopping at the market, charging the scooter, ordering (chinese) food, finding our way across town, making our first meal at home, locating a tennis court, buying a map, finding the park, learning new words, making friends, and of course...buying a notebook.
