I'm back! My trip home was a bit longer than planned, and I'm happy to be back to it (although I think I need to better define what "it" is now; stay tuned).
Here's how I knew I was back in China:
- As I was getting on the plane in Los Angeles and getting off in Shanghai, the person behind me was right behind me. Like touching me. Personal space? What's that?
- Leaving the airport, I heard that lovely loogie sound, the sound of coughing up and spitting on the ground.
- Back home and watching CNN, I heard the reporter say, "And in China," before the screen went black then returned to a segment on Syria.
Welcome back!
On another note, I'm trying out Jet Lag Rooster (thank you, nbcnews) who gave me the following schedule in order to avoid/minimize jet lag. I'm usually pretty good with jet lag, forcing myself upon arrival to get on the locals' schedule. We'll see if this helps.
