can fly london-montreal

Then take a train to Quebec, get visa, and a train back to Detroit. $1680 the flight change, plus train travel...

Back to China is a long way and I don't have time to prepare. Still need to work on my presentation.

Was thinking about cancel the whole trip. but then i think about Cambridge University! And the conference is held at the Music School! I so want to see the place. If not for this conference, I would have quitted my job by tomorrow (9/1/05).

Sigh. Been working on this mess for two whole days....
