RB spent the first few days sleeping and spending time with his mother and aunt. He slept in his aunt's teeny weeny apartment's spare room. He just fit into the bed, without having to bend his long (by chinese standards) legs.
Due to the twelve hour time difference, his jet lag was severe and he found the chance to call MM during Canadian hours, since he could not sleep well yet. MM was very happy to hear his voice, and they both felt the wonderful gift of instantaneous communication. Maybe they weren't the far apart after all.
