Morning
Flew back to Beijing—no delays. Got back to the office just after lunch, and then our driver took Tracy on to the hotel. My staff was hungry, so we ran down to the Japanese restaurant for a quick bite—again, nothing but good. I had the beef dish, but Angela had some teriyaki, so I’m going to have to try that next time.
Afternoon
I commandeered Angela to take me to the phone place. I asked her as we were leaving if it was the same place, and she said yes, so I got my camera ready . . . only to find out that it wasn’t the same place. Sorry! It was a completely normal office, and fortunately not as crowded, so it only took us an hour to get the paperwork done for two sim cards. Now, we just have to buy the phones, and we’re in business. When we were done, and since we had the driver, he took me home at the end of the day (at the normal time—the team was still working hard, so I now SUCK as a boss!). The traffic is a bit lighter than normal since we’re so close to the New Year holiday, and it still took me 45 minutes to get home, just like taking the subway. The subway is the way to go!
Tracy was watching a Jeff Dunham special on Netflix when I got home. We had Cocoa Puffs for dinner, and watched an hour of White Collar on Hulu, and then another hour of Psych on Netflix. The internet signal in the hotel is strong enough to stream effectively, and the VPN we signed up for lets us take advantage of all of the online content we couldn’t get if they didn’t think we were in the states (LA, in this case). Still need to check out Amazon Prime one of these days.
