Well guys and girls, Nearly 1 week together and it has been great, MinYing loves Perth, She is still stunned at the big open spaces, Many parks and the beaches and the Swan river, She is like a child with some of the expressions on her face when I take her different places, Walking barefoot with Sand between her toes and feeling the ocean on her feet is sooo different for her.
We have travelled to Northbridge many times and she has already chosen her favourite groceries shops and feels good to be able to communicate with the Chinese shop keepers, Yes, She scrutinizes every product many times before making the decision to buy
Something I will have to get used too
.
I am not used to coming home and having someone greet me at the door with a big smile on their face but I am getting used to this very quickly
The home is spotless always , Nothing out of place and the wonderful smell of Chinese groceries when I open the cupboards or the fridge.
We got a temporary medicare card the morning she arrived and I showed her around the Morley Galleria shopping centre and again she was amazed at the cleanliness of the complex, She is also very surprised to see so many different cultures here.
Dumplings were on the menu last night and only about 250 were made
Yes they were all consumed, My eldest daughter and her boyfriend consumed 2 big plates full and then my daughter claimed the rest to take to work for lunch the next morning.
Sunday we went to Hillarys boat harbour for breakfast where she put away 2 big plates compared to my 1
Next was to meet the family, MinYing was very nervous but was greeted warmly by the whole family, Not too often there is such a big gathering at the family home I was surprised to see so many there, The nieces were very happy to meet her and are excited to have a Chinese auntie, Mum gave her a big welcome and MinYing is overwhelmed with the kisses and cuddles she received from all the family members, She is not used to such affection.
When we laft Handan, There were tears from mother,auntie and sister in-law but no cuddles or touching in anyway, MinYing tells me it is not their way to show affection towards each-other
She looks beautiful as always and is still like an octopus when she sleeps with arms and legs all over me
.
Well must close now as I have been told I spend too much time in front of the computer, By the way, She starts her new job Thursday, She cant sit at home as she wants to interact and improve her English, MinYing and John.
