Dead End Streets











Today was not one of my better days. It seems everywhere I went and everything I wanted to do today would not happen.

I wanted to go to the top of some of the bigger skyscrapers and look over the city for the views and to take some pix. I did the research and found a few that offered such a thing. But, the first place I went to, the International Commerce Center (ICC) building, turned out not to be open to the public. It was only open to tour groups. I left after that.

The second place I went to, the Bank of China building, required ID which I do not carry with me. They would not accept a photocopy of my passport. I left after that, too.

Later, during some after diner shopping, the camera I was looking at, the Panasonic GF-1, was not in stock at the place with the best price. The price is good; as low as the best US clearance prices I've seen thus far. But, it was too late for them to order from their supplier by that time. Tomorrow.

So, all in all, a day where nothing went as planned. Plus, my throat is getting soar. I fear another cold coming on! I need to take it easy, something I've not done since I got here.
