Arriving in Wuhan!
The day finally came for us to take the leap and go to China! Adam and the girls arrived Tuesday, routing through Shanghai. Bella and I arrived Wednesday. I flew with her separately on Korean Air as they are pet friendly. It was so exciting to be reunited—at our home in China! Thursday Adam and I went to the consulate and the staff took us to China Mobile for our Chinese phone numbers and to the bank for our local account. (I already think banks are incredibly boring but sitting in a bank where I don’t speak or read the language for over an hour while jet lagged took my dislike to a new level.) The consulate staff (US and local staff) took us out for a yummy lunch.That evening we attended a welcome dinner for us and two other new consulate families at the Consul General’s residence. (The Chinese embassy and ambassador are in Beijing. The other State Department offices in China are consulates with consul generals.) The Consul General, CG Lan, has her own chef and the food was amazing!
