<Nobunaga in gripe and moan mode>
(feel free to ignore)

... So I was in China, for like the hundredth time, but this time around I couldn't get a direct flight to Hong Kong (usually go Hong Kong then into Guang Dong by bus). Got a flight to Shanghai, connecting to Hong Kong... I repeat connecting.

... Now, in the civilized world, when you connect to another flight, there is usually a bus there to take you to a special waiting lobby, so you don't have to go through customs and immigration, right? I mean, you're just changing planes - no reason to hang out in Shanghai . . .

... But low and behold, things work a bit differently in the Middle Kingdom. Damned near an hour to get through entry immigration and customs, just to walk 100 yards and then go through exit immigration and customs (over an hour!) to get on a plane to Hong Kong! I was pissed. Especially considering the fact that there is a special "Transfers Lobby" in Shanghai Pudong Airport, with a bunch of uniformed Chinese drinking tea and coffee who can't be bothered to do their job and get annoyed when you ask them to.

... 2008 Olympics - should be humorous. If the massive and billowing clouds of dust from the Gobi (sp) Desert don't choke half the folks showing up to cheer for their teams (have to wear masks in Beijing), the Chinese standards of service will be to sure to win them a place in the hearts of everyone.

... Speaking of which, imagine running the 100 meters when you can't see the finish line for the dust and pollution. It is that bad sometimes.

</Nobunaga in gripe and moan mode>

... Had a good time, though, once I finally got to where I was going.

I missed ya Nobunaga...interesting gripe! Maybe this will help.....

An ode to Nobunaga, mired in Shanghai;
Ambushed by customs, the world passes by.
He pines for Hong Kong,
and his bus to Guang Dong.
Lonely and adrift in an airport pig sty.

Welcome back!

I presume you meant has the thred improved IN your absense. I was merely pointing out that the thread had improved your absense (as per your post) by making you absense pass quicker. Not worth the original joke, certainly not worth the explanation, and I wouldn't have bothered had it not been the longest thread, thread!

thegrimsleeper · Post by **thegrimsleeper** » Fri May 12, 2006 11:42 am

DID the thread improve your absence? :lol:

Just knowing that it was here, and that people were posting while you were not, did that make your absence that much more enjoyable?

...rofl
