It's Mail Time!

Twix checks out the box. Anything good in there?

Today we received 2 packages. The first to arrive came via courier on a bicycle, and it is something Papa Dumpling ordered from Amazon.com.cn.   The site is quite different from the US version, and items are only returnable if they are defective. Still, it is one way to get items that we cannot find in stores. Another Chinese site that I am having fun browsing, but have yet to order from is the Chinese version of eBay, called Taobao. This will probably require some help from a native Chinese speaker!

Our second package of the day was delivered by a gentleman in a uniform, and I had to sign for that one as well. Perhaps he was our mail person? Anyway, thank you dear sister-in-law for sending the package of our forgotten items! I appreciate it.

Papa Dumpling's office provides a pouch service for forwarded mail. So far, there has been no mail, however. We know from our snowbird relatives that the forwarded mail sometimes takes awhile to get started. We know the service works from China as we have reports that something we mailed from here was received in the U.S.

It's a rainy day here and the temperature is a pleasant 70 degrees F. Rumor has it that the weather is hot and humid in Hong Kong for the big Disney Trip. Hoping that there are no problems securing the required visa and that the rest of the dumplings are back tomorrow night as scheduled! It's too quiet here with just the pets and me.
