Shenzhen week 1: off to a running start

We came down to Shenzhen about 2 weeks ago, but didn't start to live in our apt until this past week, starting Monday.

It went something like this:

Monday: Toilet clogged. Bad.Took Alden for a walk down Gongxin Zhong 4 rd to metro station, discovered a several evening al fresco eateries and the university.

Tuesday: Plumber came, yay! Alden started solid foods- rice cereal! Saw a huge cockroach in Alden's room- freaked out at 4am.

Wednesday: Strained a back muscle- I am totally out of commission keeled over like a hunchback, and cannot lift our little one : (  Got roach traps and set them up.

Thursday: Saw more roaches in kitchen now- HUGE and gross! We didn't catch the one in Alden's room since Timon stepped in that trap...

I couldn't sit nor stand without back pain. Visited sports medicine rehabilitation center in futian, got lost in the sports block and in pain, went to a convenience store to sit down and cry. The fella there listened to Timon's directions and graciously escorted me to the clinic (while holding my handbag) The Dr.s at the clinic were super nice and helped me so I can walk better now!

Discovered several cool eateries on the way home from the metro (1st time) including Liz Pizza and more al fresco eats and a basketball court in an empty swimming pool. 

Friday: Thats today! Apt is still in disarray, and going back to the clinic in the afternoon.

Whew! We look forward to finish setting up house and also visiting the beach with Timon's team from work.
