Copenhagen – Frankfurt – Beijing
Day One—April 6: Kick off for my China trip, a day I’d been looking forward to for a long time. Although it is a kind of a business trip, I also view it as a semi-vacation—the first in months. I met with the remainder of the team in Copenhagen Airport, where obligatory hot dogs and window shopping was on the programme. Below is a picture of (from left) Jakob (who is on my China team), Louise, Morten (whom I studied at New York University with), and Peter (whom I was in LA with).

We transferred flights in Frankfurt to a jumbo-jet looking forward to an eight-hour flight. We landed on April 7 (local time) in Beijing. Below is a picture of the group in Beijing Airport completely wasted by the flight.
