Starting the day: Their way and mine

After a quick and safe breakfast at McDonalds (don't start!) I returned to my room. The room bobbed around me and everything developed a soft edge. 6 hours of vivid dreaming and sleep paralyisis later I grogerly came to. I guess that's jet lag.

This morning I wake at 5am (go figure) and decide it's about time I got coffee. Now at this point I need to clarify something. In NZ (esp Wellington) we have very, very good coffee as good as anywhere in europe and better than most (esp London) . So we don't go to starbucks unless you want some frappa thingee ( I guess if it's a hot day drinking one is excusable). However, in the rest of the world a starbucks is often the best if not the only decent espresso around.

However , while I enjoyed my espresso (from starbucks) all the Chinese appeared to be gathered in groups starting the day the apparently healthy way, with a spot of Tai Chi.
