Heather was kind enough to put us in contact with Yanfang and her husband, Dimi. Yanfang was in Canada for a year in 2012. They graciously took a taxi for an hour here (they live in the suburbs of Shanghai) after work to answer some questions and take us to a local place to eat. Kaelyn was done earlier than Kaatje so we meet up with them at 5:30 at the SML Center....

Nothing much to report on Day 11, so I didn’t post. The girls were gone all day until about 9PM. I bought them some apples, bread, jam, etc at the store and dropped it off. Kaelyn and I zipped to the store in the mall to get some cereal and vegetarian sushi for the girls dinner. I started this morning with a change up in breakfast. I’ve been eating...

All was good until she found the secret ingredient (and I don’t mean Cilantro) – we had no idea they added it until half way through. Krill. That was all Kaelyn could eat. Dad ready to chow down The ‘secret’...

It is so yummy. Cost me 9RMB ($1.86CAD), the 2 on the right are pork dumplings and the 2 on the left are larger dough balls filled with a beef mixture. Just amazing, the...

Kaatje came home around 7PM last night and dropped by to eat the left over pizza and have a shower. She was tired from an early start so she headed back around 8:30PM. Kaelyn was done around 9PM and she will have to update us with pictures shortly. We got a Starbucks and watched the rest of Goosebumps. Kaelyn had some exciting news, her first editorial. She had to...

Not much happening today as Kaatje had an F1 show to model at (not really sure what this is but Radek @ ESEE was excited Kaatje got it) and Kaelyn has a test photo shoot. I did have the pleasure of Kaelyn dropping by for breakfast at 7AM. Oatmeal with some blueberry jam, reading books to Maria and a chat with mom started the morning. Then part of the goosebumps...
