Cameron woke up at 4:30 and asked if he could watch tv.  Him and Todd went to breakfast at 6. Todd left at 6:30 to go back to the airport to fly to Harbin.  I got ready and Cameron and I went to breakfast at 7:45.  Yes, Cameron ate twice.

At 8:55 we checked out and went outside to wait for Mr. Xue.  I received a text which I knew I would. I just had that feeling.  He was stuck in traffic.  He finally arrived at 9:25.  On the road to TEDA.

Finally home after stopping to get gas.  We walked in and immediately knew the air conditioning was not working.  Very hot and stuffy.  Called our agent.  She had workers here within an hour.  While we were waiting for them to show up we decided to watch some tv.  Sat down, turned it on, and nothing.  Cable box was out.  The one in our room was also out.  Another call.  She said "could you wait some while, because long time no use, need wait".  Really?  So if you don't turn the cable on for awhile it takes it awhile to turn back on?  Such a Chinese answer.  It didn't help to wait.  After 2 more texts the cable was back on at 2:30...3 hours later.

When the guys came to fix the air they did some standing around and some pushing of a button. After 2 minutes he had me call my agent.  She told me they couldn't fix it.  They walked out the door as I was on the phone.  She said she would have to call someone else.  After 2 more texts bugging her to death she said different workers would arrive at 3:30.

Wow, the guy showed up at 3:20.  We have never had a worker come early before.  An hour later and the air was cool again.  Thank you Mr. Cranky Pants.  The man had a terribly cranky look on his face the whole time he was here.  He must not like his job. But he fixed the air so that's what was important.
