Travel tip to China No. 1: Don’t automatically assume every non-Asian person you meet is American. Ellie Mae learned that lesson when she tried to chat up a French couple at dinner.
Travel tip to China No. 2: Make sure your spouse is out of the bathroom before trying to plug in your European/American electrical adapter followed by a power strip. You might blow out the power in your hotel room. Thanks Ellie.
Travel tip to China No. 3: Master the art of chopsticks before your first public dining experience or you might become the dinnertime entertainment. Eating fried rice with chopsticks is like trying to eat soup with a fork. And getting frustrating and using your soup spoon is generally frowned upon.
It’s 3 a.m. Saturday morning and we’re both wide awake, looking for coffee and waiting on the workout room to open. It’s called jet lag.
Off to the Great Wall. … Three days to E Day!
