Back In China

My flight was good, there was no major snags and I landed safe back in China. So far the only person I have seen is Dong Yan, she helped book my before I came, we got something to eat and went for a run yesterday, she is a great friend. I will get together with several people this Thursday. I am looking forward to that. There are many conflicts going on with me though. It is great to be back here but it doesn't feel as good this time this time though. It is hot and muggy here. Plus even more important to me I am really happy to see my friends in China, but now I miss everyone in St Louis. Of course in a year I will back in St Louis missing my friends in China. I guess I am never satisfied.

I am so proud of myself, I met some professors on the flight and ended up helping them catch the Maglev train, the subway and a taxi. I felt like a real world traveler. At least until I started walking to my hotel and had to get a map out to find the street my hotel was on. It was very embarrassing when I realized I was standing right across the street from the street I was looking for. Although I don't feel too bad since I had asked some people and they didn't know where the street was either.

I am hoping to post once or twice a week, so stay tuned.
