Kathryn Hi Dan, I am one of the current volunteers in Yihuang and have recently found your blog. In the spare room of the apartment their is a China Post box with your name and address on it. Did you leave this behind when you left China, with the intention of it being posted to you? If so, it is still here. Loving your blog, one of the most informative about Yihuang that I have come across, hope you are well,

Auntie Mary Sounds like you are still having a wild time of things! The story about the poppy was very funny. Sorry we haven't got around to posting a Christmas card for you, I have lost the webpage that had your China address on it, but we are all thinking of you and hope you get to have a good time over Christmas in whichever way you will be celebrating over there! Take care and enjoy being Pikachu!!
