Tonight we experienced an incredible act of kindness from our driver Mr. Lu. He called and said that he was one minute away from our house and coming over. With the language barrier, I couldn’t quite understand what he was saying but I kept saying that we didn’t need to go anywhere except the airport tomorrow morning. A minute later, the doorbell rang and it was Mr. Lu with a bag containing 2 grapefruits, a bottle of California red wine, and a huge Dove chocolate bar for Madeline. He explained that this is part of celebrating the national holiday. We were speechless because the bottle of wine alone costs 2-3 round trips to the school. Sometimes the people here really surprise me.
