I can't sleep

I went to bed last night at 9pm, I was totally zonked out. I woke up at 3am. I couldn't go back to sleep. So I got on the computer and started chatting with friends.

I never left the hotel last night. I had Erin bring me a coke (I was craving something besides water). It had a pull tab! I don't remember ever seeing a pull tab before.

I don't have any other pics so here they are. I'm goofy, I know.

Things are so cheap here compared to HK. Two 1.5 L bottles of water, 2 cokes and a snickers bar was only 45 RMB (~8 RMB to 1 US$). In HK that would have been 200 HK dollar (~7 HK to 1 US$).

I did some laundry last night in the sink. That was an experience. You sweat so much here you have to wash your clothes so they don't smell. It is also very humid so they take forever to dry! I'll never take a washing machine for granted again.

Well I can't fall back asleep and I'm sick of the internet so I'll go watch HBO - the only Enlish channel I could find.

Keep your fingers crossed that I don't fall off the wall tomorrow :-)

REVISE - Superman is on for the 3rd time since I've been here. I think it plays on repeat.

How awful?! So are you going to come back to Arizona for the "dry heat" after this experience? (Hey, I'll try every angle to get you back here - I miss my buddy). I just created a blog so people can follow me through my experience with becoming a cop. More to come - right now is the boring part. Have fun in China! Will be reading your blog often!

I love Coke wish I could have some Coke in China that's cool. keep studying hard. it 8:45PM PDT, 11:45PM EDT, or 11:45 AM in China. it's great the time is so easy to figure out - I think what time is normally where Chrissy is at in Indy, then change the AM/PM. it's that easy.

Love ya Klayton

Hey you I like following your adventures around the world. Lease has been following you as well she hasn't left comments yet because she thought she had to be a blogger. I will get her up to speed?

Please don't fall off the "wall" again! HAHA and no carving your initials in the wall either!

Get some good pics today..I don't want to see soda unless it's Pepsi!

Love ya,

You are in Asia -- are you sure that Coke is the REAL thing and not a cheap imitation?
Its been fun laughing at your adventures. You should write a book or go on a comedy tour. It's been very entertaining.

What a great idea to keep a blog of your travels! Thanks for letting me know about it so that I live vicariously through you! It sounds as if you are in the Chinese version of Groundhog Day since Superman is playing over and over and over! Can't wait to read what you are doing next!

I'm late to the party! But catching up on your adventures. You are totally brave!

You've NEVER seen a pop top? come on..even I've seen those! Not in Beijing obviously.

Enjoy the trip to the F-City and GW. Can't wait to see those pictures. This is a really fun blog!
