Finally here

Outside my door

Never been so happy to see a bed!

I flew into Hangzhou after two flights and 17 hours after leaving Auckland, New Zealand. I arrived here at 9pm (Chinese time) and was picked up by one of recruiters. Then driven to a hotel conveniently located a floor below the recruiters office to sleep.

Unfortunately the hotel was under construction and when I arrived at my room, over exposed floor boards, the door was blocked by a Chinese version of Pink Bats. The carpet was dirty but the bed was clean and I was just happy to lay down and get some sleep. I was told that I had to be up and ready at 9am and couldn't eat anything as I had to have my medical tests done the following day.

Looking for my PJ's

So the next morning we went off on a scooter to the hospital. Within half an hour I had had a chest x-ray, blood tests, blood pressure check, height and weight check, eye exam, an ECG, an abdomen check and I had to give a urine sample. Although the hospital was a little run down and old they were extremely efficient, as I went from room to room to have each check done.
