Still putting on its shoes

Two days ago I was at a conference in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow I'll be at a conference in Hong Kong. Due to airlines' esoteric round-trip pricing, I am in the process of flying from Pittsburgh to Hong Kong... through Doha. That is, if I'm subtracting correctly in my jet-lagged state, 22.5 hours of flight time in just over two days. I'm traveling halfway around the world: 12 time zones, 194 degrees longitude.

I am tired.

On the other hand, I really can't whine about going to Hong Kong. (It has an an immersive, multimedia Buddha attraction!) This will be the 10th country I've visited since moving to Qatar. I really, really love my life.
