1st day...

so today we start the load in process. it is said to take 2 days, due to the language barrier and lack of knowledge of what we do. we just get a bunch of folks who do what the interpreter says to do. that should be interesting. and i think it's about 500 degrees outside already. i will be so pretty in about 3 hours. beauty contest material for sure.
and for all of you that know just how much i enjoy chinese food, guess what was for dinner last night. yup, chinese. i am going to be the master of rice after this whole thing is over. now if i could just get my chopsticks to cooperate. i will have to practice that in my room, so i don't embarrass the people i am eating with. nobody laughed at me, but i felt really stupid. i mean really stupid.
oh, and the open gawking, freaking wow. we went to a grocery store yesterday. i was my own freak show. staring and finally pointing. i just smiled and nodded. maybe if i was to point back... i will not be offensive in a foreign country, i will not be offensive in a foreign country, say it with me....
