Global Crossroad

Thanks to another one of Jeff's oversights, I did not bring my medical check form with me since no one told me to and I had scanned it and sent it to him months ago. However, because I did not HAVE the original document, yesterday I had to go to the Chinese Entry/Exit Health Building and get all of the same tests done AGAIN. Blood drawn, X-rays, EKG, etc. Thanks Jeff. I could have saved $300 and just gotten it done here, or I could have saved an entire morning and not been completely embarassed and nervous.

Jeff's incompetence, apathy, and overall shoddy work anger me to no end. I will be so incredibly happy when his negligence ceases to affect my life.

On health care here:

These people really have no sense of personal space! Maybe I will get used to it eventually. When the doctor is checking the nose, teeth, throat and motion of a patient, there are at least ten people standing within arm's length looking on intently. It is the same for all of the tests. It was especially uncomfortable for me since there was only one other female going through the medical exam. Luckily, since I am a white foreigner and Lily is pushy, she made everyone leave the rooms when it was time for me to do the EKG, ultrasound, and have my heart and lungs listened to.

I have so much more to say, but I must go eat lunch while it is still hot. The school provides lunch for the teachers, which is nice. More to come!
