Green Eggs and Ham

I am tired! We spent the entire day in the cold, cold weather trying to figure out what was causing the gearboxes to leak. I finally came up with a solution around 3:30 this afternoon, but we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to know for sure if I'm right. I really hope I am. Working out in the shop I assumed that I might be cold since the weather here in Beijing is around 40 degrees. But I also assumed there would be some sort of repreive in going into the offices or conference room. But all of the windows were open inside of their offices. This is not a common sense oriented culture...

Although I do not have a picture of my goose egg because I actually hit the crown of my head which is covered in hair, I do have a picture of this...

A random worker at the company we visited yesterday came up and layed a duck egg on my plate. (I know you can barely tell, but it's a greenish blue color.) I asked Anne why they chose me to give it to instead of John or Pinakin and she assured me it was because they were trying to take good care of me. I'm going to have to search out other resources to confirm this. :)

Traffic is insane here. Notice in the picture below I have a car circles. That's becuase he was driving along the road....and the sidewalk. There are no rules of the road here. Just the road.

When our driver started down this street John, Pinakin, and I were saying, "No! It's one way!!" But it turns out it wasn't and we pushed our way down it fighting incoming traffic the entire way.

That's really all I have for today. I'm waiting anxiously to go back to the customers today and see if I really did solve the mystery of the leaking torque hubs...

Oh, and my things are still in customs. Please pray that they get released soon, because my trip to Qingdoa to visit Sonya is dependent on having them in my possession before Monday.
