7 HOURS LATER

We are home from Zhuhai, the border town just next to Macau. We flew
from there. First, we were delayed an hour due to Air Travel
control. The gloria fY*)(king stuP!D c0Mm!e restricting air space for
military use. Then after 2 hours of flying, we had to circle for an
extra 15 minutes before we could land. And then we waited for 10 more
minutes before we could taxi to the gate. Welcome to the air travel
along the coast. There is only air corridor and anything above 25,000
ft is controlled by the you know who. And they are throwing so much
planes in the air... No forward thinking! This is worse than the
iPhone flight control game I play once in a while.

Anyway, the tight security has started; we went thru the security
check at Zhuhai airport, anything with liquid either being taken away
or sent for further analysis on a portable machine that was fitting to
be in CSI:NY. Speaking of Zhuhai airport, it was a w@$te of $. It's
about 40 minutes outside of town with 3-lane highway (coming and
going). And it was big and NO customers. There were over 15 gates
with moving jetways. Only two were used at the time we were there.

This picture is a bit of a classic. ;-) I took this sign from the
Men's bathroom posted in front of every urinal. It said " Get closer
is easier and you are closer to being civilized". Yes, it's always a
mess in the Men's washroom. One reason I wear shorts and runners, you
get the pictures.
