Finally in Dalian!!!

Finally getting to mi update....got on the internet and made 2 phone calls, and then couldn't get back on.... the front desk had to come change out the wires when mi come back from dinner, so now hopefully this one keep working.....

Arrived at Dalian about 10:10 am..... prepared for my trip through custom, but surprisingly, it was nothing like going through customs at Jamaica... Had to fill out declaration of health paper...and also custom form, which i got all the way to the customer officer without the custom form... Of course he just dismissed me with the wave of his hand...lol.... Another officer took me to the forms.... Collected my suitcase, and went right through door, where my coworker and driver were anxiously waiting.....
Driving to the Inn Fine reminded me of Jamaica...a lot like driving downtown, like going to Port Royal.... nuff roundabout... place is really nice and not too different from Jamaica....just the signs in Chinese.....
The aprt not ready for 3 more days, so staying in a regular room...which is really nice... Get this...the bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a mirrored wall...so yes, i can see EVERYTHING and anyone in the bathroom...lol.....
Went to dinner with a few coworkers.....at Edy's....where u get all the American food u want.... My coworker had enchilladas (Mexican), two had pizzas...and i had a.... Philly cheesesteak!!!.... lol...The owner is chinese, but spent quite a number of years in Canada and the US...so any American food you want, he is ready to make it....
Forgot to mention earlier that i dined at MacDonalds in Korea, and it was no different from the US.... but then again, i just had pancakes and sausage... I met this Asian girl on the way to Macdonalds... We were both heading to the food court, and when i got off the elevator, i made a right to go check out the Korean and Japanese restaurant and she said, MacDonalds is this way and that's your best bet, as it's too early to be eating Kimchi...that's spicy Korean, which it look like everything fi dem is spicy, regardless of the time of day.... Needless to say, when we got to MacDonalds, it was only us, and when we left, it was a full house....I guess everybody else knew MacDonalds was their safest bet....
Tomorrow i need to go on the road to get sneakers, as it was warm in the day, but the temperature dropped like a good 10 degrees, so mi sandals not going to hit it.....i hear it's different levels of knockoffs of everything, so mi hoping to get some converse, not necessarily the real thing, but a pair where the bottom won't drop off when mi walking.....lol
I still haven't gotten the money down yet.... i think my coworker said just divide the cost by 7 and that will give me the american equivalent.... tomorrow i will test out mi knowledge....and yes, cash is golden here...not a soul fart pon u and u credit card.....
I think mi been up a good 24 hours now, so when mi hit the bed, mi hope mi nuh wake up no time soon.... mi even get a sleeping pill fi help me through the jet lag.....
