Friday 26th
I’m now settled in my room at BLCU. It’s not much but it’ll do; shower, tables, closets plus a working A/C, Fridge and even a TV. I landed in Beijing around 9:30ish but due to the Avian Flu type A the plane was going through a check-up where they took our temperature through a scanner. There were a few people who didn’t pass and had to be re-checked. Later we were told that there was a girl who was checked three times and still didn’t pass it so she was quarantined. People around her was also ‘stamped’ with their health papers telling them don’t move around too much and that the government might call them to check up on their health after a week or so. Just my bloody luck, the first time being in China and I get stamped.
I am now unpacked, everything is more or less in place and waiting for WenWen to take me to eat some grub and then head to the supermarket to pick up some stuff my mom forgot to pack like lotion and tooth paste!! ><’ Nancy and I are the first one here from MHC but another girl will be here tonight from Mongolia. People will start piling up starting tomorrow and finally Sunday we will have our orientation then it’s straight to work. I am still feeling a little light-headed so I’ll be taking it easy. I’m hoping to have internet soon.
