So we thought! Today, we were informed, in a rather casual way, that our container, who needs 6 weeks to arrive to Beijing, will only leave early September!!! If you make the math, it means that our stuff would be arriving after us!!! OMG! It means not only that we will be camping in our new (huge) flat, with a one year old baby, but also that we will need to make special luggages to ship by air in order to be able to function in the appartment until we receive our container. I am currently having enought trouble trying to determine what to take for our 2 months tour! It also means that the wait between our container's arrival in Beijing and its release might leave us camping in our place for a few weeks, estimating that the chinese custom might take its time. There is already a backlog because of additional restrictions due to the Olympics.
Those possible scenarios are reminding me of my arrival in Washington last summer. Fully pregnant, I lived in our place, without furniture, alone (Paul was back in Africa), sleeping on an inflatable mattress FOR A MONTH!!! (you can call that torture).
So I hope they made a mistake!

You are tougher than any communist red labor camp worker. . .and tougher than I knew! I can't believe you were fully pregnant alone on an air mattress up the street from me last summer!. . .well all of those things can't apply this time around. . .can they?
