Li Ling – Dec 4-11th:
This week was quarantining in San Fransisco. To be precise, we quarantined in a hotel at the airport. So… We actually never left the airport during this week 
We had three meals brought to the front of our doors, and had ~1.5h of outdoor time each day where we were allowed to walk around the hotel. The walking trail wasn’t great, but I guess one shall be glad to have any outdoor time at all during quarantine… I counted, speed walking around the hotel for 6 laps took around 30min
Luckily the weather was quite nice, mostly sunny 
and the Internet connection was really good! So we were able to join the multiple USAP zoom training sessions spread out during the week… We had our first PCR-test on the 8th December, and luckily everyone for the Thwaites project tested negative

Xiaomoomoo sunbathing in a new continent!
So… I ordered “fruit snacks” from the hotel’s snack menu thinking it was fresh fruits… I’d be lying if I said what I received didn’t give me a real cultural shock
