Today is Thursday, May 16, 2013 in Changchun, China.  The weather promises to be mild, with temperatures up to 77 degrees F, and no rain.  It has been rather dusty in Changchun because of the highway constructions around the city.  The local authorities started flyover constructions last June to relieve the traffic jams in the city, thereby allow traffic to bypass the city instead of driving through it.  Of course, this means that the traffic diversions are worse, and walking is the best mode of transportation.  I hate to use a bicycle here since I am not sure that I would know how to navigate the roads yet.  I am getting over my jet lag.  It has been more than 10 days and I should be getting over it.  Gr.r.r.r.r.
