Matt went to the office first thing Monday and they weren't expecting him. I guess that start date was a little more fuzzy than we thought. Turns out they weren't expecting him in the office til Friday. Nice for us, as we'll get a few more days exploring time. Too bad I still have to work in the mornings.
We've got a pretty sweet situation with the hotel. One bedroom on the 40th floor. Great view of the river! So far we've learned how to use most of our appliances. The stove vent was a tricky one!
A few observations we've noticed so far:
- Everything is expensive. The camera we bought in LA costs double here.
- My bags are entirely too full as it is, so I can't buy anything anyway.
- Mobile phone shopping is a nightmare. Pre-paid or post-paid? Unlocked or tethered? And who ever heard of a manufacturer called Huawei which is pronounced "whar-way"????
- No matter were you go, you will never escape the fast food industry. McDonald's has family meals. Burger King is called Hungry Jack's. Pizza Hut & Dominoes are everywhere as well.
- There is a 7-eleven on every corner. And sometimes two.
