It has arrived!

Finally, after over 3 months, our container with our stuff arrived. Nevermind that it had been baking in the Calcuttan sun and gathering the Calcuttan dust for close to 6 weeks, we were happy it arrived!

Unpacking turned out to be a treasurehunt of some magnitude. A box labelled "Master Bed Room" (and note the way they split words) and sub-labelled "Toys" had me worried. It is far too easy to draw the wrong conclusions when you see a box labelled bedroom toys. Knowing that we were incredibly lacking in this area also piqued my curiosity. What could this possibly be? A gift from Santa Fe with the finest in Chinese bedroom accessories? A donation from a well-meaning but misguided therapist?

It was not to be. Upon opening it contained kitchenware... And it was neither the first nor the last mislabelled box. So a big thank you to Santa Fe in Beijing who made it impossible for us to know what was in the boxes they had packed for us.

Next post will contain some pics again - promise!
