Banking and Thanksgiving Plans

Today I braved the rain and opened up a bank account with the Bank of China.  I opted for an internet account and received some bizarre sort of one time number generator that I somehow use when conducting online transactions on my account.  The problem is that the Bank of China website only interacts with MS Internet Explorer and not my Mac's Safari.

I suppose I will have to borrow a computer in order to conduct online banking, or else download internet explorer, which defeats the purpose of having a Mac.  I will endeavor to figure this out.

I am quite pleased that I was able to go and open up a bank account all on my lonesome.  Granted, the bank staff spoke english, but I did utilize my ipad's translator capabilities by anticipating questions and having the answers pre translated.  Pretty nifty in my opinion.

I also was invited to give a presentation about Thanksgiving to some Chinese people.  I will be presenting using power point.  I plan on giving a good and diligent account of the Pilgrims, the Wampanoag, and the circumstances of the first Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I do have some congestion and slept for half of the day today.  I feel rested at least and hopefully will be back to 100% soon.
