We've spent two nights here and it's been cold. It's snowing for the first time in three years. The heating unit in the apartment where we are guests is definitely not up to the task. We're glad we heeded advice and brought long underwear. Hopefully it will warm up soon.
We'll probably be struggling with jetlag for a couple more days. The 13 hour time difference hasn't been easy to adjust to.
It looks like we'll be getting an apartment in the downtown area. The area is a few miles from the office where we will be working. Near where we will settle in is a French store, Carrefour, that is similar to a Walmart with Chinese influence. We spent some time there last night just to warm up. We were pleased to find a wide variety of foods that we enjoy as well as most of the items we'll need when we get our own apartment.
A highpoint of the morning was seeing and talking to our family in Michigan over the internet. We're amazed at how well this web communication works.
Right now we're on our way to a conference in Thailand. At least we're in the airport waiting for a flight that's been delayed two hours. We've informed we will most likely miss our connecting flight in Bangkok and have been assured that if we do we will be provided with a room in a 5-star hote for the night ... we'll see.
