Almost Going Home

Quick update: We just had the Dragon Boat Festival, which to a foreigner means 3 days off (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). It also means that we have to work on Sunday to "make up" for the day off that we got on Friday. Yes, China's government holidays make you work for your holiday. Thursday was really the only holiday we got, Saturday is the (my) usual day off and so because I got Friday off (to make it a straight 3 days) I have to work on Sunday. They just shift my "weekend" around. And now I am about to embark on a fabulous 6 day work week. Great plan right? Oh PRC, the things you think of to tickle my ABC bones.

Mark your calendars. Thursday, July 16 11:30am. China Eastern from PVG (Shanghai Pudong) --> LAX (Los Angeles). I will set foot back onto American soil, take a deep breath of American air and smile. It will be good to be back.
