I’m back from China!

& I’ve got a few bullet points to share.

– I had to cut my trip short a week or so. I had planned visit some of the Tibetan areas of Sichuan Province, but because of Tibetan protests, many cities have recently been closed to foreigners. Blurg. It sucks, but that’s one of the risks of traveling in China.

– I started to feel sick a few days before flying out of China. It’s a good thing I came home because I have a horrible health mixture of strep throat & a sinus infection. I’m really glad I’m not in China for this ickiness.

– 30 hours of flights & layovers sucks when you have strep throat & a sinus infection. It is also not pleasant for others sitting around you.

– While trying to change my return flight, I learned that Expedia has really bad customer service.

– So now I’m at home trying to get over jet lag, sleeping 20 hours a day, and staying hopped up on cough medicine. Hopefully I’ll be over this gunk soon. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to answer my overflowing mailbox, but no promises!

xoxo,
