san 伞
Umbrella.
AUS-LAX-LIH-LAX-SFO-PVG. That's Austin to Shanghai, in a round-about way with a honeymoon detour to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. After 28 straight hours of travel, including 20 in the air, we touch down in Shanghai on Jan. 17th, 2006 at 7:30pm. The NI company driver was waiting to pick us up at the airport carrying a sign bearing my name. First impression: it is cold and rainy. It's been raining for 2 weeks straight in Shanghai. Our first purchase
in China will definitely have to be a san. The frigid temperature is made worse by the fact that: 1) we've become quite accustomed to the consistent 80 degree warmth of Austin and Hawaii, 2) the heater isn't on in our apartment and we have no idea how to get it working. Luckily the package of bedding we shipped is waiting for us, so we hastily make the bed, drape our sleeping bags over top and crash.
