Even with some good sleeping pills, a body clock is a hard thing to reset. At 1:00am Montie, Cassandra and I were all wide awake. After lying awake for an hour, I chose to read a book while Montie and Cassandra got on some shoes and set out on an adventure. I finally fell back asleep about 2:30am. Little did I know, but Cassandra and Montie were out having a grand adventure. They visited an all night 7-11 (Cassandra calls them 7th Heavens) for snacks and then sat in the lobby while Montie and Cassandra had some Chinese lessons.
They finally got sleepy again at some point and came up to the room and went back to sleep. We all woke for the day at 7:00am feeling a little bit better, but still pretty tired.
Inspired by his midnight language lesson, Montie has instituted a policy of learning five Chinese phrases a day. We all agreed that we didn’t need to worry about learning “I don’t speak Chinese.” After one attempt, it will be fairly obvious to any true Chinese speaker. Oh well, it gives us something to do!
