Back!!

Well, back to Asia. After 3 flights, I am finally back to Asia. And yes, suffering jet lag all over again (The time is now 5:30am) But I got myself a french press so I can make coffee at home. Hopefully I would be able to contain myself the next few days. The trip was definitely better than I expected. To start, I wasn't confident to teach people something that I only learn a month ago. Even though my boss kept saying it is fine cause I have technical background, I still think he has more confident in me than myself. Secondly, not able to test the connection before leaving because people are still working on it make me VERY nervous. And the training material, I got it the day I arrived in Denver. But thing do seem to go well. And now I am back. I sometimes wonder if my body can adjust heat that well. It was snowing in Denver on Wednesday and now it must be 30 degree. Would my body think I am torturing it? Probably.

One interesting thing I notice on my flight from Seattle to Tokyo is that there are some US army on board. Well, at first I was guessing those guys are either US army or football players. But the flight attendants asked everyone to show their passport or some id if you are in army. So that clear the question. One guy sat closed by me. The most interesting thing I found is that he doesn't eat any food on the plane. That 10 hours he brought his own food. So now I wonder if it is because of US army rule? Or airplane food is just too yucky? For me, I think after 3 flights, I tried every combination of airplane food that United has.

Real? Faux?

I got the following email yesterday. It sound very authentic and it is the bank I bank with in Canada. I emailed my bank to check on this email. I wonder if this is a real one or not.
