Back to the World of Free Speech (kind of)

We have left China and are now settled in Singapore. Not much happened since we last posted.

The only real excitement was that we all caught a cold. Madeleine and Theresa got over it pretty fast. I on the other hand developed a sinus infection. I got a visit today from a doctor that makes house calls. Considering that he arrived within 30 minutes of my call and brought medicine with him, the $216 ($140 US) didn't sound too bad - the 4 prescriptions cost only $16! I'm feeling better already.

It was a little nerving flying while I was sick. We knew that there was swine flu in Hong Kong where we changed planes and that they were scanning everyone's body temp to detect for the flu. While I didn't have a fever, we were trying really hard not to cough so we wouldn't draw attention.

Our flight from Shanghai to Hong Kong was full but the flight to Singapore was nearly empty. After takeoff, Madeleine moved to another seat and had two first class seats to herself. As you can see from the photo, she made herself comfortable. She had plenty of attention from the flight attendants.



Goodbye Shanghai

Hello Singapore
