China '03
Bill & Jane
Sept 5-16, 2003
Fantastic trip to visit Jane's family in Tainjin, China.  Bill spent time almost every day at brother Yude's Internet Café, where he checked email and was able to talk to his mother in Syracuse, NY with Yahoo messenger webcam.  Bill also made friends with a group of retired guys that meet near Yude's shop.  Jane's uncle Zhang Kai from Guang Zhou in southern China was visiting and joined the entire family every evening for dinner.   In Beijin we toured the Forbidden City then found fantastic treasures at the large Xiu Shui Market.  Then on the way back to the USA, we stopped in Tokyo to meet with Ken Fujii an old friend of Bill's.
