New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use a “postaday2011″ or “postaweek2011″ tag.

3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.

Building 15, Yu Cai Sunshine Apartments, My Home for 3 Weeks

I just opened an email 40 minutes ago telling me that the principal has arranged for new apartments for Chris and I. We’re to move tomorrow. No word at what time or where to other than to “Phase 1.” Don’t ya just love planned communities?

So I’ve started to pack and clean.

I suppose the chaos now is worth it. I am getting so tired of hearing the Sousa music, the kids marching and the little man with the big megaphone exhorting them with God knows what political slogans at 6:30am. Then the day continues punctuated with bells, music and announcements till 10:30 every night.

I thought tonight would be peaceful as the kids get to go home on Fridays. Nope, outside my window people were whistling and children were screaming. My fingers are crossed that I’m not on the first floor.

Our Pond

By the way, last night when I came home, just as I past the guard I smelled the unmistakeable aroma of cannabis. In China? Who’s got the nerve? I really want to know that story. Or do I?
