When we checked into the hotel on Friday night I saw a flier advertising free yoga lessons on Saturday and Sundays at 7am. I forced myself to go to bed at a reasonable time so I could wake up and see how yoga is in India. It reminded me of when I did Tai Chi in Hong Kong last November when we were there for a week.
The travel doctor I went to see before the trip had prescribed me ambient to help with adjusting with the time change quickly. I heard some bad side effects from people’s personal experiences with it so I decided to take a benadryl instead because I didn’t want to be sleep walking the streets of Mumbai in the middle of the night.
I wanted to provide some life updates before I get started on blogging about what’s going on with this new trip.
My flight to return back to Minneapolis was at 7:30pm which meant that I had a majority of the day to make the most of it while in Seoul as long as I was packed up and ready to head to the airport at 3pm.
On Saturday morning we got an email at 3am saying that our flight out of Seoul at 7pm Sunday night with a 5pm Sunday arrival time in Minneapolis has been delayed until 8am the next day which means we wouldn’t be getting in until at least 6am.
Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! I’ve been running 3 days behind on blog posts because I was cramming for my a Japanese chapter test on Tuesday that was really stressing me out.
We’re currently staying at the Cordis Hotel in Mon Kok for the week we’re in Hong Kong. Kimberly found it for like $150 a night and it has 2 bedrooms and 1.25 bath which is really convenient for the 3 of us. One of the major selling points of the hotel is that they have daily tai chi classes every morning at 9am that you can sign up for.
In preparation of meeting Popo, I spent some time gathering and scanning old pictures to show her from photo albums we had at home. She likes looking at photos and she has a tablet she uses to watch tv shows and video call family members. Here are a few interesting ones I’ve found.
We are out of the 3 day restaurant quarantine now! I wanted to spend a little bit explaining how it all worked. Before leaving Minneapolis, we needed to take a rapid test 24 hours before departure on Thursday and fill out a long and confusing health questionnaire that I messed up twice and had to redo for both Joanna and me.
Quick story on how my Chinese family ended up in Minnesota: My mom was born and raised in Hong Kong and decided to study abroad at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis for her senior year of high school.
