Boise in Shanghai

Friday night here in Shanghai I went out to dinner with the Christensens and some friends of theirs here. Trent (doing the traditional peace sign behind me) and Tami, and their son, Aaron, are out here from Boise on a two-year assignment from Hewlett Packard.

We went to this little hole-in-the-wall dumpling place that was REALLY good. Dumplings and wanton soup (beef and pig heart). The entire restaurant was about the size of our dining room at home - I don't know how the Christensens discovered this little jewel. Very VERY yummy, and CHEAP!!! By contrast, tonight I was at a Shanghai jazz club, and one ginger ale there cost one-half of what our entire meal for five cost last night!

But better than the food was the company (no... I didn't eat the company). It was fun hanging out with friends from home. But having been gone from Boise for nearly three weeks now, I must admit that it made me a bit homesick!!!

What a fun night that was! Our friends love this place and took us there. We've been fans ever since. When you come back to Shanghai we'll go there again. LOVED seeing you and spending a little time with you.

PS. Thanks for not eating the company!! ,)
