Wow!!
Great flight, Great food, and any landing is a good landing. Twenty hours in the air is a really long time. We are making it through that "body clock shift." An hour after landing, we were in our apartment that is just a bit bigger than our Monty but does not have as much storage space and the kitchen is more cramped and less efficient.
This is really a vertical city. It hasn't stopped raining since we arrived so there are buildings where the tops haven't come into view. They remain in the clouds and we haven't seen the tops of the mountains. I haven't yet seen the sun which makes it hard to get my bearings.
The people we have met have treated us royally. We have had some fantastic Chinese cuisine including a Chinese breakfast dish with the "century egg" (don't ask). The sage advice we have received is, "Don't ask questions, just eat it." So far, we have not been disappointed.
We have to wait until the work permit is in place to go to start serving and the immigration service will not be rushed. The delay does give us a chance to get settled in. We will meet the congregation in the Morning which is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Saving time. Thank you for your notes of encouragenment.
