3 of us


Grace left for Manila this morning on business until Wednesday. I have Kristine and Kimberley all to myself. Grace dropped us at a shopping mall near our Wangjing apartment before heading for airport. Popped in to see the tenant, a graduating Qinghua University Korean student. The place seems clean and tidy and he said he was happy. Picked up a pair of leather shoes Grace left behind, figured out how to pay the annual heating fees (they dont make anything easy here. I suggested to the fee lady to allow owners pay the heating fees online). Then off we went to our favourite Italian restaurant for lunch. 1 Spag Carbonara, 1 lasagna, 1 baked stuffed crab, 6 escargot/garlic bread, 1 fried spud wedge for Y71. Another 20 minutes walk (6degC) to another shopping place (dirty but cheap stuff) for Kristine and Kimberley to buy their Hello Kitty bags, stationary, stickers, Dora umbrellas (Y15 each). Then a long bus ride home.
