The weather here has been cool, the best weather I've seen in Shanghai.

On the downside, we've been having trouble with our landlord getting out of our lease agreement. We stand to lose around 400 USD if we leave.

To make matters worse, I broke Amara's camera today. I feel terrible.

Today I went to my orientation for my classes. It felt like freshman year again. I got my student ID, took my placement exam, and met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. It will be interesting to see how these classes are taught, being that everybody speaks different languages.

I included some pictures from our friend Michael's birthday. We were the only foreigners there, which is good. Those experiences really help us better understand both the language and the culture.

Erik, am anxious to hear how your class will go. Are you working part timer as well? Amara, are you officially at your new job? Let us know how that goes. When will be your next trip? Keep us in the loop. Love you guys,

Life has its ups and downs. Just hang in there knowing that we are all thinking and praying for you. Man you two are hard on computers and cameras. The tech equivalent of the "Bull in the China Shop."
