We're finally in Hong Kong, and the Citygate Hotel, though expensive, is beautiful and close to the airport . We rebooked our flights to Weihai for a price, and tomorrow we head out for Weihai. If things go smoothly, I'll have a full day of rest beforemy first lecture.
But things have not been going smoothly this trip. The discounted Chinese airtickets and budget hotel I so cleverly booked online were non-refundable, and we may have to eat the cost. And in addition to screwing up our flights, United Airlines lost Joe's luggage. They think it may have been left in Chicago. They're checking, they say. And since United does not go to Weihai, there will probably be some delays in shipment once they find it.
Along the way, we've talked to some interesting people, including a Carmelite ex-nun, and a Butler University student on his way to an overseas service learning project.
Hope the weather holds. There's a typhoon warning out.
