Still waiting
Flashback: Sunday, October 1st, 2006Sunday, National Day here in China, was a non-event for us. We spent the bulk of the day doing school, finally getting caught up, then just hung around the hotel. Oh, I should have mentioned that when we came back on Saturday night, we were locked out of our hotel room! We didn't know how long we were to stay, of course, so our agency had only put down a deposit for two nights. The hotel uses electronic cards as keys, so when we tried to use them the locks just beeped at us and stayed closed. Yau Neih went to the front desk and while she couldn't communicate our overall situation to the clerk, the clerk was able to let us know that she wanted some cash. That was an easily solved problem, but a tad annoying. Anyway, it ensured that we would see our boss at least once a day as he came by to pay our deposit for another night. So we did see him on Sunday, but there was no news to report. It seemed that it would be okay to head back home, but we all thought it would be wise to wait for one more report from sources back home. Yau Neih also wanted to get confirmation with the folks back in the States that it would be okay with them if we went back. It meant cooling our heels at least until Tuesday (since we had to wait until Monday morning stateside) but it's better to make sure everything was all right. Besides, I was enjoying those breakfast burritos that Yau Neih had discovered.
