On the BBC TV last night, I heard an interesting phrase, "Let's unpick this a bit"...To unpick it, I'd say that I'm so glad I've traveled before! Mistakes are made when there are time changes (confused thinking), hotels can be difficult to book and unbook, Semester at Sea in Virginia forgets to send needed information to you....like your cabin number, or what berth number the ship will be in etc. etc. I'm glad I know enough to ask questions, keep my cool, and stick with it. I've spent three days surrounded by interesting people in the hotel and occasionally walking out into the airport. (see above). At least I no longer have "jet lag" and feel pretty good.
It is the time of the "Chinese New Year" and that's not on one day only but over a period of quite a few days. Last night I felt like I was the only "westerner" in the place and saw only Asians. There are differences, of course, in Asian faces, but mine definitely looked very different from everyone else! Then, at breakfast this morning, the Americans arrived! I sat next to one fellow who was putting on a "workshop" about industry---whatever! It's seems that Demming and quality control are still alive and I'm not as "out of date" as I thought I might be.
This will be my last post from the airport!
