Roll Call: Who can share a positive thing about China?
The reason I'm interested is I'm soliciting suggestions. The world is full of negative forces. Media and other forces can amplify negativity (toy recall, pet food...), while totally overlooking amazing goodness. I plan to impart the positive side of the equation, in future posts. In addition to the amazingly adorable pictures and stories about Amy, I plan to spew positive ditties related to China. Every week, or more or less often, I plan to include links to things about Amy's birth-land, that are good. So please respond to this and future postings with things that you find are wonderful or nice about China. I will post links to the upper right, or postings to this blog as often as possible.
For starters, do you remember the beautiful star of Memoirs of a Geisha? Not a Japanese actress! Chinese! Zhang Ziyi is her name! And how about the Shaolin Monks, Tai Chi, Quigong and Tofu?

For starters: Chinese food, yummy. beautiful art carvings and hangings, a culture that stresses education and hard work and taking care of parents in their old age. I will try to think of some more when I have a little more time. Love, Grandma
Ok. I have something positive to say about China. I'm in love with that girl in the picture.
Mom - "taking care of parents in their old age". Stop rubbing it in!
Michael, If the shoe fits wear it. It is a known fact that what I said is true. Probably can't find a nursing home in China. Elderly parents live with their children and help take care of grandchildren. It may not be the best arrangement for Americans, but as Martha Stuart would say, "It's a good thing". Grandma
Mom - I think you may have misinterpreted my comment. No need to be defensive.
The weird thing is that I was just talking to Bill about that last week, after reading story #umpteen about something bad about China--pet food, pollution, economics--it's forever bad press. Two great things about China: Our two daughters came from there! Any other reason to mention?
Congrats on the potty training and Peeing all over town! It's a true milestone to celebrate! Congrats!
We miss you guys, and I'm still saying prayers for little Jacob. Any news?
Maya started preschool this week. She's just growing up too fast.
Hugs, Karin and Maya
