Springtime

Spring has come to Beijing! It has been a late spring, and the weather has remained cool, but we are finally beginning to see an increase in temperature. The grass is getting a little greener, flowers are growing, and we've all switched from coats to jackets.

We are especially excited that a new and very large grocery store will soon be opening across the street from us. People have been working on the building all winter, and rumor has it that it will open next weekend. We are really hoping that they will have fresh milk and cheese, two items we seem to be unable to live without but which are hard to find in smaller grocery stores. It will also be nice to be able to walk to a grocery store rather than having to take a bus.
