9:30 eastern time . Well I flew over the Bering Strait and we are over Russia now with 4 hours remaining or 2000 miles. I am surprise how close we could be to North Korea as we fly south to Beijing .of course we have flown over the International Date Line. The altitude is 35,648 feet. It is neat watching this map and the end is in sight. I wanted to stretch so I walked back to the plane and it seemed like a gathering place for many. I was greeted immediately by a Chinese flight attended. She offered me dumplings , soup and noodles. I accepted to show my good manners and I really enjoyed my treat. She could speak English, Russian and  Of course Chinese. A few Chinese men admired my so called wallet hanging around my neck. I bought it at AAA to hold my phone, money, credit card , passport and visa. My plan is to not lose anything...... Huge undertaking. As many of times I go to leave the district office and I find Mimi and I are looking for my car keys. I have not become stir crazy as of yet, nor have I slept. Harry the guy next to me is still sleeping. Wow!!!!  I did do two more administration evaluations with 6 more to go. I have also set a personal record..... I have not touched, talked or text on my phone for over 9 hours. I know for many that will be a shock for you. Keep in mind folks when I land we have about two hours then off to XIAN which is another two hour flight. Talk to you all later.
