Starting it all again

[MikeXiao]

Well we have started the paperwork all over again. This time for my wife's son. She got all the custody papers, just before her visa interview. Today we sent them in to the VSC.

By the way. My wife and daughter have been in the states for 2 months, as of yesterday. The learning experience, for all three of us, has been great. 3 weeks ago, they learned what heat is, and that our apartment has it. 2 weeks ago they were telling me that 55F was cold. This week, well 55 isn't that cold anymore. My wife wants me to teach her to drive. And I think there is more Chinese stuff on my computer now, than English stuff. By the way, I love it all.

Alex,

 

great to hear an update !

 

My wife found the thermostat about a week ago.. she was staring at it on the wall, although she has been here almost 2 months as well... I explained to her what it is and finished with "we pay for it". Since then, she sets it on 55F !

That's wonderful news Mike! Tell us more of the 'adjustments' so we new guys can learn.

What a nice post - it makes me all that more anxious for my wife to get here. She is expected to arrive Nov 29. I really enjoy these "life stories".....everybody keep em coming!

You're an old hand with the process, having already gone through it once (twice? ). Glad to hear that life is good. Thanks for checking in.

All of us who have lived in other countries can relate to the surprise and confusion of having heat.

 

It'll be fun when Zhenshu gets here, hopefully by mid-December. She's pretty much from Shenzhen so she is not that pleased with cold weather. What will she do when she discovers we have free gas? (A fairly common thing in this part of West Virginia. We have several natural gas wells on our property so we get it for nothing).

 

I see the thermostat cranked up to 90 and the windows open all winter long.
