Today was a day to recovery. My stomach problems didn’t go away and basically sapped my appetite. I don’t think I ate anything significant enough to call a meal the entire day. And I’m supposed to be gaining weight here too…

08/29/2009 – Day 7 – A dozen years
Twelve years. That was how long it had been since I last visited China. After twelve years, I finally saw my cousin Joe again.
The day started slowly. I was exhausted from the week and probably still a bit jet lagged, so I slept in. I woke up around noon and finally decided to head out and find Canon’s repair center here in Shanghai. Luckily for me, it was easy to find. There was an entrance to the Yalong International Plaza, where it was located, from the Metro station. My wish came true when I found out almost everyone there working for Canon speaks English. Canon couldn’t tell me what was wrong with my camera without having their engineers look at it, so I left my camera with them. At the very least, the repair will cost 420 RMB if they don’t have to replace any parts. Unfortunately, I read that the type of error I got was likely a main board failure, which means I will need a replacement part of some sort. Bummer.
