Name that Fruit...

I think three of the four are pretty obvious. :)

Things are going well here in Guangzhou. It's been a busy week. I'm actually the expert during this equipment installation, which is a terrific feeling. For once, I have some of the answers. Yeah! Things are going very well for me here in Guangzhou. Work has been busy, but a relative success compared to the last trip. I'm actually the person most familiar with the equipment being installed, and it's nice to be able to provide some answer to the project team. What a great feeling!

I've been spending time with one of the other women who is working here. She's a new hire with the company, here from Japan. Her name is Emiko and she's five feet tall and very knowledgeable. It's been a joy working with her so far. We've been carpooling to and from the plant together. Unfortunately, neither of us speaks Chinese, but we've been having a lot of fun together this week so far.

Oh - and the weather here is very mild. The breeze is humid and it's been close to 60 during the day and 50 at night. I'm disappointed that I missed the Ohio snowfall, but here we've been able to walk to lunch during the day and not worry about jackets. People haven't stopped staring at me, though. Emiko calls it 'gazing.'

Enjoy the snow if there's any left!
