Fri 4/6.  Apparently I have connectivity.  Hurray!

Hong Kong’s new airport is really nice.  Really big too.  I don’t know if I’ve ever walked so far between connections.  15 hour flight was what you’d expect.  Excellent seat.  Lots of movies.

Shanghai’s airport is huge for airplanes.  Our plane made seven 90 degree turns to get to the gate.  Customs was a non-event.  There is a fairly strict 80KPH speed limit on the highways.  “Cameras are everywhere” the driver said.  Dense mist surrounded the city.  View was very disappointing.  He said the sun should come out tomorrow.

The hotel has seen better days, but the amenities are still in sight.  True decadence is when there’s a phone next to the toilet.  Separate shower and bath.  Mini bar.  Gas mask in the closet.  I stay here four nights.  Plenty of time to try out the mask.

No pictures yet.  Need to stretch in honor of my Personal Trainer Kelsey, then go on a walkabout.  I haven’t met anyone else in the tour group yet.  Dinner is on my own tonight.
