Many of you tried to comforted me

when I was shocked by my mother’s diagnosis of lung cancer this August. Now I am happy to report the cancer appears in recess after 4 chemo-therapy.

And I am going home to see her in 2 weeks (finally

).

So, dear all, suggestion on anything useful in China that I can bring from US?
I've got vitamins and lotions and hats. But there got to be more useful things.
I remember silkworm mentioned some cleaning product before. Swiffer?

Question#2: What is the approximate taxi fee from Beijing Airport to Haidian? I still get some RMB at hand, hope it is enough.

虽然问题都答不上来

真是好消息啊

给家里买东西，血压计之类的应该不错。那个擦灰布是swifter,干的那种。我还在costco买过洗碗布，我妈特别喜欢。还有巧克力，这会正是costco各种巧克力上架的时候。对了，ipod据说也应该是这边便宜。

海淀哪儿？北大那边？100以内。我们家在清河，走五环的话一般将近70，加上机场高速10块跟8达岭高速的5块钱得80多。要是往西走，走四环，应该跟去清河的距离差不多。另外国际出口的出租车是不是多为2块的？那就得再多些。

Thanks, 胖啊. Tsinghua, neighbor. Actually I don't know where the new condo's at.

First time home in 5 years. So exited.

Thanks, DeBeers. Which brand is the 血压计? Did you find it at cosco too? ipod: is ipod mini still ok or nothing but the new nano will do?

and 狸狸, too. For my mother enjoyed your Baby-Monkee serie1 so much so that ... ... Why am I thanking you

血压计costco有的，我们当时是在macys买的，不过costco的质量更有保证（总是可以退的）。ipod新款都好吧，去年我公婆回国有人托他们带ipod shuffle，今年nano应该可以。
其它的我记得蚕博提过那个McCormick的咖喱粉之类的

That's great news!

Besides multi-vitamins, other food supplements such as Caltrade, glucosamine and American Gingsen are wildly popular among our relatives.

The most important things to bring are, I believe, a positive (but sensitive and honest) attitude and your own courage and a pair of open and receptive ears to listen to anything she wants to say. Just the presence of her beloved daughter at her side, so brave and strong, is happy enough. But I'm sure you already know that.

好消息！

（那个咖喱粉是我娘点的菜，不具备广泛意义，嘻嘻。）

我十月份回北京的时候，感觉国内比较兴小个儿的MP3 Players，对ipod(original and mini)不象这边那么认，嫌大。不过当时ipod nano刚出不久，我嫂嫂过生日得了一个（不是我送的），还是很炫的。

出租车大概80/90 到100块。走四环，到了清华东门我们彻底转向。

真是好消息。
清华新家属区是在大石门那边吧？估计一百块是打不住的。如果是在兰旗营，也许一百块够了。

好消息，猫咪头。
上次我公婆来美国也买了一只血压计回家，记得是在target买的，用起来很方便。

机场等车的队很长，这样的冬天很不好受，你最好穿多点，而且最好不要深更半夜到。还有个办法是机场大巴，多条线路，方便又省钱，还不用在寒风里等。我觉得80RMB到清华差不多。

谢谢分享好消息。

回来说说感受吧，偶也是来了后就没回去过，虽然还没有5年那末长，虽然接老妈过欧洲来玩过...不过自己回去肯定还是很不一样的。

好好玩啊。
