There's a New Giant Panda!

OK, so this isn't about interpreters or coordinating, but it's way more exciting! Bai Yun, supermommy panda at the San Diego Zoo, along with studmuffin Gao Gao, are the proud parents of a new cubbie! According to the Zoo's blog, the cub arrived at 4:58 am today. This makes the fifth successful Giant Panda cub birth at San Diego Zoo, starting with Hua Mei and Mei Sheng (both now in China), and Su Lin and Zhen Zhen, the California girls.

You can watch mommy with her new baby here: San Diego Zoo Panda Cam.

So what do Giant Pandas have to do with interpreting? Absolutely nothing, unless you interpreters need to de-stress from an assignment. May I suggest taking a few minutes to relax with the Panda Cam!
