5:04
Just got back from the day's activities, with dinner still to go.
Busy.. boring day.
I didn't get but about 4 hours of sleep since the A/C doesn't work and the window only opens about 10 degrees from the top, so I was hot and miserable.  Oddly enough I didn't mind the constant hiss of traffic 8 stories below.
So woke up, killed some time before heading to breakfast.. which was disappointingly small.  Only some blech sasuage, cereal and the like.
So we all load into a big bus, meeting up with the group from Cobb County.  Which included the president of KSU, Chatt Tech and Marietta School superintendent. So off we go!
...across the street.
We were greeted by a number of councilmen and had a meeting in the mayor's office.  I felt like such a lamer with my camera on a tripod taking video.. as they had two camera of their own (one shoulder-mounted and one high-end handi-cam) and a pro photographer.  But, oh well.
They talked about 'nice to see you again' and how good it was to have relations with a sister-city, etc etc.  It was basically all just gift exchanges, hand shakes, tours and photo ops.
Then off to lunch, which was a buffet type place.  Finally got some good sushi and even tried some coconut milk.
Bellies full, we toured the E-Mart attached to it.  9 level shopping mall/building.  The last three being an indoor driving range.
Back on the bus and heading over to Public Health Office for some more gift exchanges, hand shakes, tours and photo ops.
Library, rinse and repeat.
We were dropped off at the hotel for an hour to get ready... I just wanna sleep
I'm not hungry at all.
uuuugh..
and now not in a happy mood either.  Worry worry worry...
And that's not even remembering I've got a paper due in...5 hours.
That, I'm past the point of caring about.
