I'm hoooome

I got back yesterday evening; I ate, did a bit of catching up on LJ, and then slept for twelve hours straight. The most productive thing I did today was clear out my suitcase, but my room still looks like a disaster zone, so maybe I wasn't all that productive, really.


My travel route was like this:

Beijing -> Yunnan (Kunming -> Lijiang -> Shangri-la -> Lijiang -> Kunming) -> Beijing -> Hubei (Wuhan) -> Shanghai -> Jiangsu (Jiangyin) -> Shanghai


Just a couple of points for now before I get my photos uploaded:

Beijing:
-People in China are concerned to the point of being paranoid over the swine flu. All the workers in the airport wore masks and rubber gloves. In fact, a dude clad in green scuba goggles, surgical mask, and white lab coat came on to our plane before we were allowed to disembark, and assessed our body temperatures by pointing this little white gun-like thing at our foreheads. I had to stifle my giggles when it was my turn. I really wanted to take a photo of the guy, but I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate. Or, like, if I would get dragged off to jail. (Later though, my dad informed me that on his flight, even the flight attendant took a photo)

( And the rest... )

I kind of miss China the way I miss places after staying for more than one week. Now that I'm home again, back in the same chair, at the same desk, glued to the same screen, it's almost as if I never left.

Anyway, illustrated ramblings tomorrow. I wish I could maintain the sleep schedule of 11pm to 8am, but it's only my second night back and I'm already reverting back to 1am to 11am.

I tried catching up on LJ, but I gave up at ?skip=bajillion. So what've I missed and what've you guys been up to for the past three weeks?
