So says the message on Pandora explaining to me that the site cannot be used from outside of the U.S.
This morning I skyped with the whole family, since my sister was home and I could actually catch them all at once. What a fabulous program.
Perhaps the most exciting part of my workday was talking to Holly, the person who hired me. She called at one of the many points during the day when I was for some reason the only one in the office. While I have some training as a receptionist, none of it is in Chinese, so these times are always exciting. Holly seemed happy with me, though.
After work, as I was in semi-desperate need of cash, I headed to Nanjing Lu, one of the few places I have found ATMs willing to accept my Visa from another country. Still took me a long time to find one, and a longer time to find my way to the nearest bus (how do such intelligent people get so lost so often?), but I made it.

FIRST TO COMMENT! I rule.
1. What is Pandora and why is it stalking you?
2. Being a receptionist in English is hard enough, I have learned this summer. I cannot even imagine doing it in another language. Mad props.
3. Intelligent people get lost because having a good sense of direction has nothing to do with intelligence and that is why evolution produced MapQuest. Does MQ work in China? It better.
WE believe you are in St. Louis Park and blogging about made-up stuff.
Your experience at MIC must come in handy, since you never know what country a caller might be from.
Happy 4th of July! You certainly can celebrate your personal independence.
Knew, not know.
You know, I'm gonna start making it a big deal when I am the first to comment, since Judy always does. Pfft.
I <3 Pandora.
Sometimes I get lost at Swarthmore...and that's sayin' something.
Whatever, Ali got lost in a single level Target.
