Lesley & Hou at Simao airport
A lot has happened since the last entry - Doudou has moved out, for starters, Freda has turned 10, Chirpy and Sid have been released and I have left Simao, with Edie in tow. We are currently staying with Paul in Kunming, and will fly up to Beijing on Sunday. I can't believe I've finished working there. There were no thanks or farewells from anyone in the College after 5 years of effort, except for Hou Wanxia coming to the airport. It was very hard to say goodbye to her, though I feel certain we will meet again. Time for a fresh start. Ali and Freda will remain in Simao until Freda's new passport comes through from Hong Kong. In the next few days they still have to find a home for little Duncan the hamster and decide what to do with Jackson (the rabbit). Is it better to release him in the forest with the risk of perishing, or give him to the pet shop with the near certainty of a quick death before being stewed? A true dilemma.
