That’s right this trip hit both hemispheres and was completed by completely circumnavigating the globe. All the stops were: Nashville to Chicago to Toronto to Sao Paulo to Joinville to Sao Paulo to Rio Claro (by bus) back to Sao Paulo (by bus) to Joinville to Sao Paulo to Dubai to Hong Kong to Zhuhai (by bus across the new Hong Kong to Macau bridge) to Nanjing to Wuhu (by car) to Beijing (by high speed train) to Chicago to Nashville. 12 different airplanes, 3 buses, 2 trains, untold taxis, and 2 Ubers to get to and from the Nashville airport.
Leaving from the Sao Paulo bus station for Rio Claro I spotted this store.
I did not investigate what their go to product was.
Another elevator warning. It should be noted that the Chinese Government must have really issued an edict about elevator warnings as most places had them.
At the Dubai airport at 5:30 am local time we needed some food after the 10 hour flight from Brazil and before the 8 hour flight to Hong Kong. I had the eggs. For some unknown reason Mary ordered this.
If you are ever in the Dubai Airport I would recommend not eating as my egg and this sandwich with a couple drinks was maybe the 3rd or 4th most expensive meal we ate the entire time we were gone. Although I did get a shake from the Shake Shack a little later while waiting for our plane. Yes the Dubai airport has a Shake Shack for some reason.
Finally, if you are in Bejing in December or for that matter any time in the winter it is a government regulation that you must have a hot pot.So we did. At the hot pot place on the 3rd floor of the Beijing News Service Building. The pots were hot.
