Chinese New Year

This is the year of Tiger! My biggest surprise is that Zhiyong came to visit me and spend Chinese New year with me here. I know that we talked about the possibility, but not sure if that could happen despite of schedule.

He flew in on 9th, which my married friends seem so understanding, letting me skip the project meeting to go to airport. They share with me their way of how to keep relationships during this crazy school schedule and suggest me to take some breaks when he is here. What a sweet group!

It is wonderful to see Zhiyong at airport! He came to several of my classes, getting a better understanding of my schedule and meeting with my friends at MIT. wednesday afternoon I sent him to sightseeing in Boston while I am in meeting. Halfway in, someone asked me where zhiyong is, I said he was by another side of Charles river. they asked if I have seen outside, what?? I have not left this building for hours, when I walked to the window, it was heavy snow! ouch, I forgot how bad Boston's weather can be :(

By Friday, my Olympia friend Guorong Liu's daughter Kate Wang invited us to go to her Chinese New Year party. She is totally like her mother, a great cook and wonderful host.



It will be a wonderful year, which I am so looking forward to.
