My sister is in China now, visiting friends from college and other past lives. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, that she remains safe and happy. She'll be gone from her Thailand home for about 3 weeks. While she's there, the Olympics will start. Also while she's there, her home country of Thailand will receive two special visitors en route to China, W and Laura Bush. Laura's been pretty vocal in bringing attention to the political/humanitarian crisis in Burma and the refugees with whom Meredith works. Mer's Mae Tao Clinic will host Mrs. Bush (not W--he's just going to Bangkok) in early August, which is great from a publicity standpoint and great because she is donating thousands of much-needed mosquito nets. Mer will miss this visit since she will be in China. After the Bushes do a little Thai tour, they will go on to China for the opening of the Olympics.
I am not going to China. But I might just order a little take-out at some point next week and eat with chop sticks. And that's pretty much the same thing.
Safe travels, sweet sister!
