I locked myself out again yesterday. I have a history of doing this over the last 11 years, but doing it in China is just plain frustrating. Luckily we left our apartment around 5pm so we only had to wait for an hour and 45 minutes until Kyle rescued us. I was standing outside, sweating and losing half my blood supply to the hordes of mosquitoes and I decided that we must hide a key. I shutter to think what would happen if I do this and Kyle is out of town. I always think there has to be some way to get into that apartment. But we live on the 8th floor, I have no phone, I have no car, I don't speak the language (not that it would help, but I could at least tell everyone what an idiot I am), and I never carry much money, yesterday I had the equivalent of $1 on me. Things were grim. Strangely the worst thing was I had no idea what time it was. I mean it felt like we had been out there for hours, but more likely it had only been 5 minutes. I started this weird dance of trying to walk beside any man that was wearing a watch and tilt my head just right to try to read the time. Women here generally don't wear watches otherwise I would have tried to communicate with some grunts and finger pointing to get the time. Pretty sure half the men in our complex now think I'm even more of a freak! haha! Anyway, eventually Kyle showed up and saved the day and then took us to McDonalds to replenish our energy and flagging spirits. Kenz and Kaylie thought there were literally dying from lack of water and food. It is good Kyle showed up with he did because Kenz was sprawled out in this broken down golf cart holding her tummy and moaning. I think Kenz may be an actor someday, such drama should not be wasted!!!
This weekend is Dragon Boat Festival so it is a 3 day weekend. Kenzie's school is putting on a song and dance show on Friday and she gets to introduce her class.
She has been practicing :)
It means 'Next please enjoy Lion Class 2 perform a flying insect song and dance'.
