Two-Week Vacation in Zhongshan

I got back to Seattle yesterday. I finished a two-week vacation at home with my parents. It had been a very relaxing time. I attended one of my cousins' one-month "anniversary" celebration, but missed my high-school's 100 anniversary celebration. I also saw some of high-school classmates and visited Macau.

I booked the discounted airline tickets. I had to get back to Seattle on December 26th. Meanwhile, my high-school was having 100th anniversary celebration on December 27th. I missed it just by one day. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the celebration.

On the other hand, one of my cousins got married last month. Somehow he and his wife and their families decided to celebrate their one-month "anniversary". They had a grand wedding ceremony with more than 500 people attending. Since I was at home, I was invited to their anniversary dinner.

I graduated from high school for more than 10 years. We are doing different things. I saw some of my classmates from high school during my visit. Surprisingly, I heard another two of them got married with each other!

Macau is just south of Zhongshan. It takes less than one hour to get there from Zhongshan. I finally visited it on December 18th with my parents. Here are some pictures.

Grown-Up

My friends say I have grown up.

I just moved to a one-bedroom apartment last weekend. I have the whole apartment to myself. It's my first time living alone. My friends said I have finally "grown up".

Baby Formula

I still remember the milk disaster in China back in September. Two weeks ago, I got an email from a high school classmate out of blue. He asked me to buy 12 big cans of baby formula from the US. They're so heavy that I had to take two trips. Last week, I bought 6 cans. This afternoon, I bought another 6 cans. The 12 cans of baby formula weight 20 pounds. I have to use EMS to send them back to China. It'll cost more than $120 on shipping!

Maybe I should open an import/export business on baby formula?
