Day 1

Welcome to Shanghai China:

Long day of traveling today (thanks for the tweets about how to recover from jet lag, I won't be using the one tip--wash your face in a couple of raw eggs (did you mean I must drink it?). We were greeted at the airport and taken to our hotel--the Chinese swim team is making this their home as Shanghai hosts the 2011 World Swim Championships starting next weekend. Security was tight -- reminded me of a TSA experience but not an issue. 

We have great hosts, they took us on a brief tour of the area around the hotel and then guided us on a fantastic dinner staring, sautéed frogs, pig's kidney and feet; and duck tongue--it was very good which was backed up with about another 6 dishes. Quality! Meeting tomorrow am to go over the course. I am gone to bed...

Thanks,
Paul
