It's 1am and 4pm at the same time. I'm about to land in Shanghai after a 13 hour flight backwards (or forward?) in time. I've never been to Asia before. I've been realizing lately that smiling/looking nice is something unique to U.S. superficial social interactions - when we make eye contact, we usually smile. Or when we interact and then say thanks, we smile. It seems weird to me when (especially women) don't smile back - after making eye contact.
We landed into Shanghai with so much air pollution. You can smell the air metallic on the plain. I watched a ping pong game in the airport to pass the 5 hour layover.
From Shanghai, I flew to New Delhi, met my sister at 3 am local time, and then caught another flight to Mumbai. Now we're staying with my friend's parents in a northern suburb.
