Shiqi and Mylene in Fuzhou

Finally! After approximately seven weeks (or was it seven months), Shiqi and Mylène have arrived in Fuzhou as well. I picked them up from the airport last Friday afternoon. I was wondering what Mylène would look like, and whether she would recognise me. And I was so surprised when I saw her. She changed a lot! Of course, I recognised her, but in her movements and facial expressions, she changed so much that it was hard for me to realise that this was really my daughter. Her movements were more precise, her facial expressions wiser, and the tones she made, much more diverse. It was wonderful to see them again!! The weekend went by too quickly. With a small kid to take care of, days go by even quicker than without. We played with Mylène, went shopping, had a walk in our neighbourhood, had lunch in the Fuzhou Shangrila, and talked and talked. So you can imagine, there was no time left for blogging. Some posts about the experiences of the past weeks will follow, though. I still feel I should write something about the business trip to Changchun, and about an African fellow in Fuzhou who can sing Chinese songs. But more about that later.
