April

[from m-w online]
Pronunciation: 'A-pr&l
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French & Latin; Old French avrill, from Latin Aprilis
: the 4th month of the Gregorian calendar

[another source]
四月April：罗马的四月，正是大地回春。鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文四月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。
四月的另一种说法是来自于拉丁语Avril意为“之后”、“第二”，因在凯撒之前的古罗马历法中，每年的第一个月份是三月。九月September、十月 October、十一月November和十二月December也分别来自于拉丁语Sptem、Octo、Novem和Decem，分别意为 “seven、eight、nine、ten”。

Child birth class

We went to the child birth class in MRH last weekend. 2 days, full 8 hours. We learned some useful stuff from that class. Besides that, the hardware and the environment of the hosptical really impressed me.

This was the second time we went to MRH ( the first time was for the breast feeding class). There was no bad smells at all, which I believe every hosptical in China has. We were given a tour in the child birth center. Single room for each mom. Every room has jacuzzi, refrig, cable and etc. Yep, looks like a hotel room! (They do provide room service! No kidding.)

True! They do charge you a lot for the services. But it's better than "hidden fees", such as HongBao, that you have to pay in China. Plus, at least I can see where the money goes.

At the end of the class, they gave us a child birth certificate. Very nice!



Well there is a long way to go for people's medicare in China.
