I forgot how much I needed to get used to sleeping in a Chinese bed again. Spring mattresses aren’t that common here so both my pillow and mattress are made of foam, my first night sleep was a little…challenging?

Right now it’s 12:30 am Hong Kong time.
Ugh, I feel like so much has happened in the past 24 hrs I don’t know where to start.

This morning was a little crazy, I didn’t go to bed until 3:30 and spent about half an hour fighting with my alarm clock at 7.

So I got home from chicago around 11pm and I realized that since I chose a hockey bag as my luggage, I’d run the risk of everything inside getting wet if it rains.
I went to the grocery store and bought some extra large zip lock bags and proceeded to organize and bag all of my clothes.

At 3m bus took a quick pit stop at a gas station in the very exotic, Mauston Wisconsin. Coincidentally enough, my friend is on a similar road trip coming from Chicago to Minneapolis so I was able to chat with him midway at the gas station which definitely woke me up and gave this short trip a sort of small world feeling since we didn’t coordinate the meeting.
