Passports and Visas Ok'd

I am happy. Ned and I received our passports back with Z visas glued in them.

We fly back to Beijing tomorrow morning. I had a dream last night that I forgot to buy Tylenol Cold medicine at Walgreens and I couldn't sleep the entire flight from Chicago to Beijing.

I was very jet-lagged for about a week upon returning, and this time I am determined to re-orient my body back to Asian-Pacific time ASAP. Ned and I take the sleeper train back to Tongliao on Sunday night, and I want to sleep for a good portion of the 14 hour train journey.

We arrive in Tongliao Monday morning, and from there, I go teach!

I have two classes Monday morning, and since I've already missed 2 weeks of classes with my students, I'd like to be alert and functioning come Monday morning after my 2 day journey.

I'm going to stay up late dancing tonight, and sleep on the airplane tomorrow (with the help of a little cold drugs) :)
