I'm back!

After a sleep-deprived and chilly visit to Shenyang, I am back and resting comfortably in Chengdu. Yes, it was cold - there was snow on Saturday morning. Happy Halloween.

Actually, it reminded me an awful lot of Chicago. Northern China's weather is actually quite similar to the midwest...cold and dry.

The good news: We won! Chengdu took 1st place in the middle school boys and girls divisions. We got a trophy and everything! I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

The bad news: One badly separated shoulder (not a pretty site) and one puking middle schooler.

But all in all, it was a nice trip. Winning helps. :)
