CD from PC, new camera, and pre-chinese new year!

I received a CD from PC Romanian volunteers Alumni. They made a CD with lots of tips, photos and a few language programs too to help me get started.
Their packing list suggesting is wonderful too! It's a stress reliever to know that a lot of the stuff I thought I needed is already provided or can be purchased over there.

Buna (Boon-nah) = Hello!

I got a new camera for PC. Why did I get a new one versus bringing my old one? 1.) My old one didn't record sound, so now I can make mini videos to add on my blog, 2.) This camera is way smaller and lighter, which will be wonderful because I'm going to do lots of walking and traveling soon, 3.) I've always wanted a canon: recycle time for flash is superior!

Here is a demo video from my camera:

Pre-Chinese New Year dinner was celebrated tonight at grandparent's house. Calvin and I spent the afternoon with my now married cousin Elaine. We went out for lunch, did a bit of shopping and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to persuade her dog Biscuit that Calvin and I were friends and to no bit us or bark at us.


We won! Elaine's step by step program got her dog to kiss me on the lips! Calvin got him to roll over and play catch. He's a cutie! Once you get to know him =)

Ate lots of yummy food at grandparents, and lots of left over were brought home too.
I love my family! I'll see them again for Chinese New Year.
