edicts

In order to ensure a safe expos for the next six months, the city is
implementing rules to control sale of knives. Yes. Porcelain knives
are banned from stores. Chinese butcher knives, large size cutting
knives can only be purchased at designated areas. And please present
valid gov't issued ID for verification and recording. Wonder if there
are new serial numbers on knives to match ID with a knife. Hardly.....

No large bags entering the expos site.

Banned substances to the expos site are obviously bullets, bombs and
all. However, there are more. They are: lighters, matches, baseball
bat, umbrellas with sharp end, ball (any types of balls except the one
attached), racquets, walkie-talkie (there goes all the US tourists
from Disney), remote control toys as well as water and drinkable
liquids. Now serious, who would bring in a racquet to walk around? A
baseball bat? Really...

O yeah, expect major delays at the two airports here. The air space
will be tight. And have recruited 3 nearby airports for backup.
Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Hefei. Each takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours
of highspeed train ride.

Yes, one more thing. No dog!
