I found out yesterday that I’m going to China next month for a week to train our partners and staff there. I’ll spend two days in Beijing and perhaps two in Shanghai.
It will be my first trip to China proper. I’ve visited Hong Kong two times when the USS Elliot visited there. That was before Hong Kong’s return to China. During the last visit I had signed up to tour China but had overslept that morning and missed the bus, to my regret. Now I’ll get another chance to see this amazing culture, or at least catch a glimpse of it between training sessions!
That is going to be one LONG flight. Even if you only have one layover, you gotta figure on 16-18 hours on a plane, right? Ugh….
