... antibiotics in the IV as well. So we went in to the local hospital and Elise got her IV fluids in the "infusion room" along with about 100 other people. It was a lot like getting IV in a bus station. She completed her treatment in 1-1/2 hours and they sent us home. She had 2 days of IV and seemed to be on the mend. She stopped throwing up and seemed to be feeling better. So the doctor gave us the go ahead to leave town. It ...

... assume that I am from here, that I married a foreigner (since the kids are obviously not 100% Chinese), and that we had the kids overseas. They think we’re just back visiting family or that the kids are being brought up here, so that they speak Chinese and the local Qingtian dialect.

Roman candles shoot fireballs with a firecracker in the center that blew up after shot. The firecrackers we set off individually and sometimes we emptied out the gunpowder onto a rock and lit it for a big flare. M-80s are sticks of dynamite that could blow up a hand. Last of all, the cones shot green colored sparks.

... car. My mom said that her father used to say that it took more than ½ a day to walk to the city center. Here is a picture of our great grandfather’s house.

... they can't have both old and new! <br>How strange and how sad! <br> <br>After a bowl of noodles I made my way towards Ou Jiang (River) to find the ferry that would take me across to Jiangxin Dao (Heart of The River Island).
