Nice Weather for Ducks

I lied folks, the most exciting thing about being back is the unbelievably nice (and unexpected) weather.  The humidity is low for southern China, and it's managed to keep below 85.  This of course means that we have spent several afternoons getting work done outside.  Outside is too vague though, because we have had the luxury of doing this work over at the Intercontinental Hotel, at their pool, which is less hotel pool and more family vacation resort theme park.  The corporation responsible for hotel dumped more than $1 billion USD into the project and while it has yet to see anything but red, we do get to enjoy their sprawling campus of a complex.  It is themed to resemble a Patagonian ranch, but really is more of a summer getaway spot to pamper executives from Office Depot and similar companies.  It also sports a full size replica of both the Pinta and the Santa Maria, which I am happy to report have finally found their way East.  

I apologize for not having pictures yet.  It seems that since I no longer have to procrastinate school assignments, I had to find something to put off for as long as possible, and a digital camera purchase fits that bill nicely.  It will be soon though, and the pictures will be award winning, and by award winning I mean, I will actually take some.
