Sitting inside the warm library but outside it’s snowing. I’ve been trying to arrange a boat across the Pacific to China or India but it doesn’t look like this will be possible. I’d have to have a medical here, which would be expensive, and I’d also have to have proof of onward travel, like a flight ticket or a train ticket taking me out of whatever country I arrive in, which would probably be China, and all this makes it too complicated and too much to pay up front so unfortunately I think I’ll have to fly.
