DetailsGreetings Friends! Well it’s not quite the heat I was hoping for BUT I’ve experienced a lot through it these past 2 days. “Wo gan mao le – you fa shao” — I caught a cold and had a fever yesterday at the clinic — which is fortunately something that rarely happens to me –…
DetailsGreetings Friends! I just returned from an evening stroll with Dr. Zhao to the neighboring park….Though our way of strolling and others’ way of strolling are a bit different.
