Overnight I received e-mail from Lingnan telling me that I’m accepted and that my materials are on their way to Morgantown. Calling Morgantown, I was pretty much told to buy my airfare and assume I won’t get turned down for the visa (which still has its 4-6 week purgatory to go through). So I got another airfare quote–thankfully unchanged–and I’ve sent it in for approval. I’ll probably book in the next day or so.<\/p>\n

Delta from PIT to JFK, Cathay Pacific from there to HKG. Departure Aug. 21, with a return date to be fixed once those dates are actually showing up on the reservations systems.<\/p>\n

Picked up my typhoid etc. at the pharmacy: they were fresh out yesterday. If I wake up in time to take it one hour before breakfast or lunch I can fit the series in before Brazil… otherwise it will have to chill in the fridge until I get back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
