Greetings from Guangzhou, China! Internet is spotty and I can only get Facebook here and there. Instagram is blocked because of all of the protests in Hong Kong. So, because I’m so addicted, I turn on the data roaming from time to time to post a photo or two. Expensive, but worth it to me because I get so damn homesick.
It’s been my birthday now for what feels like two days of birthday because China time is 13 hours ahead of home.
That’s been kind of fun, but I tell you, this travel stuff here is hard. Nothing ever goes as planned, so I plan for SNAFUs all of the time. Still, the unexpected happens. Like my flights are always somehow screwed up and I hate to stress at the airport. There is a language barrier, sure, but I’ve learned how to use body language and I get people to write stuff down for me in Chinese characters.
I am in Guangzhou for a day and a half to attend the biggest trade show in like, the world. It’s the China Import/Export Fair and it’s pretty insane. I walked part of the show yesterday with my new boss and the guys from the China office. New boss is so cool and I feel like I need to impress him and I’m not doing a good job.
Went to dinner last night at a Teppanyaki place. Too much food and waaay too much beer. Mix in some jetlag and uuuuhhhggggghhh. I could barely walk, let alone TALK to my boss by the end of the night. Embarrassing. I got make up for it today.
In back home news, I do want to tell you about my renewed interest in The Bulldog since we started doin’ it. He’s been texting me while I’ve been gone. I like him, but not sure if he’s boyfriend material for me. He’s a super good lay and a fascinating person to talk with. I like him a lot…but I want to know more. I guess that’s what you’re supposed to do, right? And by the way, he may be thinking the same about me. Maybe I’m not girlfriend material.
Girlfriend. I don’t know. I guess I’ve given up on the idea of relationships, and perhaps even marriage, now that I’m a ripe old 47 years old. Perhaps it’s time to just sit back and enjoy without putting a label on anything.
Regardless, it’s fun and exciting! I am enjoying it and I know he is too. I can’t wait to get back home and ravage him! He likes it when I do that.
It’s 6:30 am here. Need to shower and get ready for the day.
Love you THIS MUCH!!!
Ginger S.
