It’s Dragon Boat Fes­ti­val Hol­i­day here in China, and we’re in Phuket, Thai­land through Mon­day. I didn’t think it could get much hot­ter, but woooooeeeee is Thai­land a beast!! I got a bit of heat stroke from being out in the sun too long yes­ter­day. Good thing there are beaches and lots of coconut drinks and fruit stands everywhere.

The next few weeks are going to be a bit crazy. We’re rac­ing in for Team USA in Guangzhou’s Dragon Boat races next week, have a few par­ties and din­ners to attend and plan, and have a lot of paper­work to fill and stuff to get done before we leave post in three-and-a-half weeks. Oh yeah, and we have to pack up all our stuff, too. That’s not stress­ful or anything.

For this week­end, though, I’m enjoy­ing this last trip out of Guangzhou. Coin­ci­den­tally, our first trip out of Guangzhou was New Years’ Eve, to Phuket, in Decem­ber 2010. Back to the same place we started.

It’s a nice way to round out our travels.
