QT Day 3: To Nanjing

7/28/2022

Today I was transferred to Nanjing in the "closed loop". Everyone will have a different QT experience and the rules are changing frequently, but the team at school decided that it would be best for me to finish my QT in Nanjing (which has a very favorable COVID situation) to allow me to visit with one of our trustees who lives near here prior to heading to Beijing with little trouble [knock wood].  

I left my hotel at 8 am with a small group of folks and headed via bus to a central location in Shanghai, a bus terminal for folks in Quarantine. I even got to try out the hat that I finished weaving yesterday-- I meant to finish this for my daughter at home, but so it goes! I'll share more about weaving in QT another day.  When I got there I went to the Nanjing corral area, was able to use the rest room and then waited to board the bus to Nanjing.

Our bus driver was committed to our on-time arrival and let others know it through his generous use of the horn throughout the journey. When we arrived it was a similar deal as before, get out of the bus in a loading/ service area, have the bags sprayed (and my passport too for good measure!) and then get escorted to the rooms.  The hallway looked like a scene from a zombie apocalypse movie-- everything covered in plastic and very dark, but the rooms are very nice and the food is also very good. I'll share more about that tomorrow.  For now, good night!
