Here and Safe!!!

We had a long flight and we got here very late last night (Wednesday). I had not been to bed for so long that I had nearly forgotten how a bed felt. We arrived at 1:30 in the morning and unpacked and then went to bed. We only had 5 hours of sleep and now I am so very tired. Jet lag is hard on old people. We had to take our passports to the office today and submit 6 passport photos to them and then we went to lunch at a cute little restaurant - named Lisa's. After that we went to a huge store that has everything in it and we bought some new towels, toilet paper, etc. and then came home and tried to get everyone set up on their computers. Then, tonight we walked across the street to a great little, outside restaurant for some authentic Chinese food. It was fantastic and only cost us $2.50 per person!!!! It was as good a tasting food as I have ever had. They had some great stuff. Tomorrow they tell us that we all have to have another physical. We are all very unhappy about that. Hopefully something will happen and we won't have to have them. Our wybon - Shirley - will get involved and we won't have to have them.
The apartment is something else. Very old and in need of some major repairs, but we will get by - I am sure. We are on the 5th floor, but there is an elevator and the halls are very hot - we have a great air conditioner in our apartment. Our apartment is the nicest one of all the teachers, I believe. The BYU people that we are here with are all so nice and we all get along so well. That is nice.
