Any of you who have our phone numbers (M's cell and our home phone), here are some guidelines for calling us here in China:
1. The time difference from Michigan to Shanghai is 12 hours during Daylight Savings Time (summer). So if it's noon (Thursday) in Michigan, it's midnight (Friday morning) in Shanghai.
2. After DST ends (winter) the time difference is 13 hours. So if it's noon (Thursday) in Michigan, it's 1 am (Friday morning) in Shanghai.
3. We wake up at 6am during the week, and are planning to maintain that schedule on the weekends. See #1&2 for conversions.
4. Right now we go to bed usually by 8:30 pm, but we hope to push that out to 10pm soon. For now, stick to the 8:30pm bedtime. I'll let you know when that changes.
5. To allay any fears or confusion, our number is a local call for those in Livonia - it's just like calling Livonia, but through the magic of the world wide web, you can reach us here in China for the same price (free)!
6. We have voicemail, so feel free to leave a message if we don't pick up.
Talk to you soon!
Sweeeeeeeeet! We'll make sure to call soon.
