A Trip to China

Finally, got my visa and picked up plane tickets this afternoon. Departing for Shanghai, Beijing, Jilin, and Dandong. I have always wanted to view North Korea but Dandong is as close as I can get. Oh, yeah, have to remember not to go walking along the unmarked border and accidentally stray into North Korea or I will be stuck in some hellhole of a prison for a heck of a long time.

Priority 1. Visit my cousins in Jilin.

Priority 2. Try out some authentic street food. Nothing special about it but it is what the common people eat.

Priority 3. Make it back in time to start my new job on the 29th.

The company I was working for went under while I was away so I did not have any reinstatement rights when I returned. It has been hell looking for work and this one was right out of the blue. This will be my last vacation for at least a year so need to enjoy it to the max.

 Enjoy your trip, be safe.

The cycle of jobs is truly a challenge with many trials built within it. Many people often do not understand the fragile nature of jobs, nor how fortunate some are to have jobs, both good paying as well as simply a job that meets the daily living expenses to have a basic and reasonably effective life environment.
