Arrival in Shanghai
After approximately 15 hours of flying time I have safely arrived in Shanghai. So far the only thing we've really managed to accomplish is getting checked into our hotel.
That's not true. The other accomplishment was not getting killed on the way to the hotel. Driving in China makes just about every other city I've ever seen fairly tame. Our bus cut several people off, and wove through traffic. We very nearly hit several cars and the driver never even broken a sweat. I hope I don't get killed here.
Tomorrow morning is the first session of training, so we'll see how that goes. I've been forewarned that my legs are going to hurt for the next six months after this vacation. That's hopefully a hyperbole.
