We have a Honda Odyssey -- funny since we just sold an Odyssey in Indiana just before leaving. See the photo below along with one of Mr. Huang strapping Lorren in his car seat.
Mr. Huang takes us wherever we need to go around Wuhan whenever we need to go somewhere. He takes me to and from work every day. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays all of us go to school and work at the same time. He drops everyone off at school and then we head to Cummins. He also takes Chessie and Lorren home at lunch time on those days. (The girls ride the bus other times.)
He takes Chessie to the store which allows her to buy groceries in a similar way to how she was used to in Indiana -- one or two weeks worth at a time. Most people have to carry home their goceries walking or on the bus, so loading up the car and bring it home is quite a luxury here. He waits for her at the checkout line and help bag and take the items to the car.
My most frequent business trip is to Xiangyang about 300 km northwest of Wuhan. This is convenient, because I would much rather drive than have to fly. When I need to go to Xiangyang, we just get in the car and go. Mr. Huang stays there with me until it's time to go home. This, of course, requires us to plan if he won't be in Wuhan to drive Chessie and the kids. But we've always been able to work around it just fine.
One last item.... Wednesday was Ema's birthday. Here's a photo of her with her requested strawberry Jell-o poke cake -- homemade, of course.
