Piyan Has Arrived!

The panda has arrived! Just in time for the Opening ceremony too! Today right after lunch I checked the mail and Piyan was there along with the rest of our mail. I am planning on getting him a passport and pulling out a duffel-bag for him so he actually has something to pack in. I'm glad he came in time for our big party this evening so that I can take lots of pictures of him getting to know some of our friends here in Tennessee.

What is with the Panda?

Okay, here goes. The panda I will be blogging about belongs to a girl named Emmy-Anne. This panda is very special (or so I've been told) and is named Piyan. He will be arriving at my house by mail sometime soon and I will start taking pictures of Piyan everywhere. The goal is to take lots of pictures of the panda going wherever I'm going. In my case that means the last week of the Olympics in Beijing China and afterward some touring in Japan. Even though Piyan is Chinese, he was born here in the states and doesn't speak a word of Chinese (much like myself). At any rate I will hopefully upload to this site daily during the trip and Emmy will have a lot of fun looking at what her panda is doing.
