sleepy....

I'm still having trouble getting back into California time. Today I slept on the train on the way home from work, and almost missed my stop because I was so tired. When does this jetlagginess end?

So the Guardian's stories about China make me laugh - what else can I do when I read stories like Skip the toilet, save the planet, says airline and Beijing announces "affordable" Olympics"? If you read the story, it sounds great, unless you know that 1. all the hotels in Beijing are booked for 2008, even the ones whose construction haven't been completed yet, 2. the Chinese government has decided to ban Chinese cars from operating in Beijing during the Olympics. This information came to us from Kelvin, the third-person self-referring tour guide. According to him - "You'll want to come because then you won't have to worry about getting hit!" And then I started to wonder about people scalping the tickets...

I haven't been writing more about my trip because I left the journal I kept in China at Mark's place. Oh well.
