"We all have to care for each other" she said

 So here I am in China.

But I don't yet know what is out there as I came in the dark, traveled by bus in the dark and landed at my hotel.

People were wonderful- I understood nothing!

One woman, head to toe in PPE and pretty well faceless, helped me when she discovered I didn't know any person in Shanghai( poor me)

Her words" we all have to care for each other"

Great introduction to China.

Armed with thermometer, alcohol wipes and bleach tablets , I was parked in my room.. very nice room with huge window looking out over a river.

And there I stay

Internet would not connect and have had no connection to the outside world for 8 days.

My standby email of lisada75@me.com is the only email that works...

But I feel a sense of freedom now as I can open up my tiny world.

Not much to say- I jog, listening to amazing podcasts- Hannah Arendt and the Banality of Evil, Celtic History by Dan Carlin.. and i've got five more hours of that to go.

And I now can look forward to my coming year

and the people I will meet

and a whole new world!
