For anyone who didn't know already, I am back in the USA. I actually lucked out from Beijing > Seattle, as the plane was only about half full. Consequently I got a whole row of seats to stretch out in. In addition, I watched three movies:
The Dark Knight
Safety Not Guaranteed
Goldeneye (because shut up, it's awesome)
Upon landing in Seattle, I had biscuits and gravy, and it was amazing. Also, props to Seattle for covering their whole airport with free wifi. I shouldn't have to thank anyone for that. Its fucking 2012, every airport and hotel should have that complimentary. If you charge me $3 for a coffee, I think the least you can do is spring for a $20 router. Anyway after connecting to Cincinnati, I had been awake for about 34 hours. But of course, I had to immediately to get some chili. So after 36 hours I got a long deserved sleep, even though I'm still having trouble adjusting to the time difference.
I don't have too much more to say, other that I hope I can meet all of you sexy people soon if I haven't already - you should hit me up on Facebook. I'll close with a list of "Lessons from China" I wrote while I was there. Maybe you'll find them as interesting as I did.
- Never lose your curiosity to explore new places
- Respect only those who deserve respect.
- Maintain a strictly professional relationship with your boss
- Maintain a strictly friendly relationship with your coworkers
- Be a strict asshole for the first class
- The Chinese are overly obsessed with money
- The Chinese are your best friends if you know them personally. If you're another stranger, fuck you
- According to several of your adult classes, 70% of Chinese men cheat on their wives/girlfriends at some point. Please refuse to believe this
- Chinese kids are put under an insane amount of stress to succeed. However they are remarkably inept at basic life tasks
