Home: Where No One Knows My Name, Where I can’t Speak To 95% Of The People, And Where I Will Never Fit In…I sure did miss it!

I came home and spent the next couple days running errands in the usual places.  Our stuff isn’t coming until the end of May (at the earliest) so I bit the bullet and started buying things to make our apartment a home.  It’s amazing what knick knacks, floor mats, towels and fresh flowers can do for a home. 
Adam and I went to a Cree luncheon to celebrate the successful installation. 
I took a second trip to Ikea and bought some proper sized plates and glasses, an area rug and other odds and ends that we needed.  I went to Lo Hou and got a painting framed, bought a framed sewing, fabric for throw pillows, for Adam’s pants, shorts for me, a shower curtain and a cute camera strap, took the fabric to the tailor (they will be ready in a week) and got some more DVD’s for Adam and I.  (One difference in Hong Kong and Huizhou…I would have spent a fortune that day, when in fact I spent under $300 US…including the tailoring.
