The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

China Post Experience

It's hard to believe I've been here for almost three months and not had to send anything by snail mail. I have slowly been trying to find authentic style Chinese items to send back home...but to tell you the truth, it's not so easy. I have not even seen an Yichang postcard...they must exist, surely? Yesterday I was happy with the few bits I had got together and braced myself to hit the P.O. As it turns out Nettie organised to take me shopping to help me find some good moisturising cream (I think I am suddenly looking older (lol) I wanted her advice on a good brand to buy. So after checking out the cosmetics, we headed over to China Post to send my items on their way to Australia. It was so lucky I had help, I think it would have been very difficult if I had tried to send my first parcel on my own. The whole experience is very different to popping in to Australia Post. Anyway after filling in a mass of forms and handing over a mass of money...It's on it's way :-)Maybe I've found something that is more expensive in China than Australia?
I am so thankful for the internet and the ease in which we can all now keep in contact with each other...
