Shows where my mind is...<BR/><BR/>I remember being alternately first worried, then annoyed, then put out, then angry, then finally relieved when we eventually met up in the airport. In retrospect, it's a pretty funny story.<BR/><BR/>Sort of encapsulates a lot of how I felt about the China trip- there were things that were initially stressful for me (like hawkers) that I think were good stuff to deal with.

I remember when I was younger how much of a hassle it was trying to pick someone up at an airport -- you had to know the exact flight they were coming in on, and then you had to call and see if the flight was late, and agree on a place to meet up, and all sorts of crap like that. Now, though, you just ask 'em to call you from their cell right before they board their last flight, and you call each other when the flight lands to figure out where to meet up. Easy peasy.<BR/><BR/>Unless, of course, you're in a country where your cell phones don't work. Then things suck again. :-)Sephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950623837896169505noreply@blogger.com
