#Spring – April Showers bring May Flowers
First Warm Day!
#SpringCleaning
One of my favorite sights in the spring and fall. All the students bring out their blankets and air them out. A little dorm ‘freshening up’. So fun to see – all the different colirs and styles on the bushes alongside the roads. ❤
A Lovely #Spring Day!

An Ancient Spring
Spring is beginning at the ancient Yuyuan Gardens in Shanghai. This lovely flower is growing atop some of the old roof tiles of the garden.
Blue of the Sea
Spring is here!Â
The cherry trees are blooming, the dogwoods flowering, and the sun is sharing its warmth.Â
Today it was so nice, I stopped at the “Honey Drink” shop and picked up a “blue drink.” They called it a “lan seng” or that’s what it sounded like. 🙂
It’s a mixture of syrup/flavoring, oranges, lemon / lime, and ice. Taste’s like a blue Popsicle!Â
The shop is one of many “student-owned” businesses here on campus. They have an Incubation Center and a focus on Entrepreneurship, so the school encourages students to start up their own businesses. If you get a chance to visit Xinzheng, let me know and I’ll treat you!
