Visitor Points Tally Update

I realized it is time to re-post the Visitor Points Tally, as I had a wonderful visit from the Shah sisters - Manisha Shah-Bugaj, Rupal Shah-Palanki, and Julie Alleyne (1 point each).

Although I haven't had a chance to blog about their adventures here, suffice to say they rivaled my cousins Michelle and David in shopping volume but didn't quite approach my Mom's professional attack on Yashow Market and the market at Yu Gardens in Shanghai. Like everyone who has been to visit me in Beijing so far, they were delightful guests, and both General Tsao and I missed them when they left.

Below is a link to just a few photos from their visit. Those of you who have been here will appreciate how much they were able to see in a short period - plus of course spending some quality time with me! Those of you who haven't visited yet, I hope you will take some inspiration - if these three high-power career women with families to take care of can find a way to take some time for themselves and each other (and me) to visit China, surely you can, too!

BASIC EXPLANATION OF THE VISITOR POINT TALLY
- Each individual who visits me at an overseas post gets one point per trip, no matter how long the length of the trip.
- 1 extra point granted for each of the following conditions: 1st person to visit me at a particular post; visitor's first trip outside the United States.

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Visitor must come to the country where I am posted to earn a point.
- Business trips to the country where I am posted usually will not qualify for a point (the "point" is for people to visit me!).
- Once earned, points will never be taken away.
- Any point-earning visitor is welcome to debate the point tally.
- I am the final arbiter of points.
