We've settled into our new home and it's hard to believe it's been two weeks already. The boxes were unpacked and everything was put away in record time...three days. Matthew has settled into his routine of commuting to and from the bus stop for the remainder of his commute to Pudong. He leaves at 6:10 in the morning and takes his scooter to the bus stop. It's actually quite cute to see him riding away to the bus stop. Tony and I have started our morning routine when Matthew leaves for school...we head to the gym. It's very nice that the gym opens at 5:30 in the morning. This allows us to get the work out done before the start of the day.
I've adjusted to living in the suburbs. I've taken the shuttle bus to the downtown area and schedule my appointments accordingly. I'm getting to know the neighborhood (not much here...trust me) and will probably continue to run my errands in the city as needed. Tony's commute to work has increased drastically. It can take anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours to get to work depending on the traffic. A major increase from the 30 minutes he had from the old home.
We'll be getting ready to leave next week for our return trip home. Matthew has been winding down at school. The last of the exams have been administered and now it's just pure playtime for the kids.
We've started to schedule our days to see family and friends. I've scheduled a lot of doctor's appointments and we'll be pretty busy catching up with everyone. The calendar is already getting filled and we haven't arrived yet. It's good to know that somethings just never change!
