Mosquito Heaven

Let me start by saying that I had to spend 3 days in China last week for a factory visit. And it was rainy... very rainy. So, needless to say with hot, humid weather, you get... mosquitos. And since all the rooms at my hotel opened to the outside, every room comes standard with a bug zapper light thingy. But, mine was broken. So, every morning I awoke to a few more mosquito bites on my arms, legs, head, etc. One night, I think I actually squished one with my head in my sleep, because there was blood on my pillow and none to speak of on my body... wierd.

But to be honest, the mosquitos were just the tip of the iceberg. So, about a week after I got to HK, my laptop broke. Hard drive... ick. I havent had one since. While I was at the factory, they arranged for me to have a computer I could use at night. So, after the first day at the factory, sick of meetings that were not turning out my way, I had to go back to the hotel to do some work. I turn on the computer to find... it has a Chinese Operating System!! The whole friggin computer was in Chinese. So, I tried and tried to get the computer to work, with no resolve. Finally, frustrated, I called the assistant manager and had her come up and make the internet work for me. When she got it working, I hoped the drama was over because I was already in pre-breakdown mode. Nope... so, I open my email and it wont let me send anything. Mind you, I have a ton of emails I need to answer, all which are pretty urgent. So, breakdown commence... I called my bf and cried to him a while, poor guy. Then I resolved to make the damned computer work if it was the last thing I did. Eventually, I got it to work ok, and figured out what some chinese symbols were in the process. Let me just say I am glad not to be in China anymore... until I have to go again next week, that is. =P
