37 hours door to door for me. Won’t see team Farmer until the AM.
Posh hotel. I am in room 666. (Which I am told is good. 8 is the best number, so much so the Olympics will being here 08/08/08. If you don’t have 8s, 6s and 9s are good).
I was the last one of our group of 38 to get in.
Didn’t sleep much on the flights by design, so hopefully I will sleep through the night.
It is very odd to be completely disconnected from the language. In the romance language countries I recognize a lot (because of similarities to English and the Spanish I know), or at least can learn. I recognize nothing (minus the character for China, which I know because it is on the PRC sports teams jerseys).
When people are talking I can’t tell where one word ends and the next begins.
Lots of touring tomorrow.
