update
wednesday will be 7 weeks here...!!!!...i've put out feelers for a mandarin tutor...i can't resist seriously studying the language as i'm already immersed...an opportunity like this rarely presents...and it's a wonder- fully productive way to pass the slower hours here...a good friend from nyc is visiting...she arrives tomorrow and will stay for almost 2 weeks...how excited am i??...couldn't begin to tell you...i've become an ex-pat!...my beloved city and my beloved family friends and neighbors are beginning to fade more than i could have imagined...but still no complaints as i'm exactly where i need to be...i'm plugging away with the needlepoint... lol...the tuina has been terrific...i'm taking my herbs and trusting my body's ability to heal via the tcm protocols i have chosen...no new earthshaking progress to report...i just felt like checking in with the group...i will say that i'm slowly but surely becoming fascinated with china...i feel completely engulfed by this huge country yet never feel like i could ever be a part of it...i imagine most people either love or hate china...i don't think an extended stay here would leave anyone indifferent...i'm planning to stay here for a while after my treatment is completed, whenever that will be, to experience a taste of tibet, xi'an, a yangtsze river cruise and shanghai...i will be very fortunate indeed if my chinese friend, summer, accepts my invitation to join me...my best to you, richxxx
