I keep forgetting to mention that we've heard from our friend James in Beijing. He was the student that we did the heritage camp exchange with. We spent a wonderful day with his family and learned to make dumplings. So...James and his Dad were delighted with everything we told them about Canada and although he had dreams of attending college in the USA, he changed his mind after meeting us and decided to go to Highschool in Canada. He will be here Jan. 23 and will be here for four years! He'll be as close as Coquitlam. His Dad is paying. I wish we'd known he was coming, would have been fabulous to have him stay with us. At least we'll get to visit.
