 February 13th, 2008

(It looks like Xanga has put up a subscription form (see the above menu bar).  So, everytime I blog something it tells you--if you subscribe.  So, if you are interested in updates/info about us please subscribe.)

Well, tomorrow we fly out of America...it has been good to be back in the US for six months, but we all seem ready to get back to China too.  Even though China has been hit pretty hard lately with bad weather and according to some colleagues, we were without heat for a few days too.  Nice!

We will spend four days in Korea visiting friends and re-acclimating to the time change. 

On that note, the Namdaemun (the Big South Gate) in Seoul was burned to the ground by an arsonist a few days ago.  This makes me really sad as it was a beautiful 600 year old structure and was going to be one of the places that I went to photograph.  Go to http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9281447 and you will see a picture I took of this beautiful old gate.

Also, I now have my own photo website up.  It has been up for only about two weeks and I have been too busy to really work on it, but you can visit it at:
http:// www.mikesternphotography.com

The pictures in the "Country" section on our site (mikesternphotography.com) are all mine as are a few others--the majority came with the template.  My aim is to use the funds generated from picture sales to further or work in China.  One need we have currently is getting new diapers to orphans at the city orphanage.  For about $35 dollars a year, we can give a child all the diapers he/she needs. 

It has been great to be back and it is equally great to be able to return to continue our work.

Thanks again to everyone for their support of our work and making this visit such a success!  We will miss everyone on this side...

Mike, Ashley, Drew, Cora and Colin
