Vegas hotel in Shenzhen

The Intercontinental in Shenzhen is pretty ridiculous. Monstrously huge like a Vegas hotel with fountains and stuff everywhere. Super random.

China airlines

Surprisingly spacious. Same as US airlines. Boarding is mad dash to front of the line though. :)

$1.50 cab ride

$1.50 lunch with rice, 2 dishes with meat and soup. Of course at client cafe so probably sibsidized but still.

The power of one email...

from the right person of course... sweet room at the Four Points!

Just arrived. Weather is like Seattle - rainy but with the added bonus of being muggy too. Took a while to find the driver. For a second there I thought I would have to figure out how to get somewhere myself, like normal people do. :P. Spoilt consultant.

2 hour car ride to Hangzhou and this driver guy is getting gas. First time being chaffeured and getting gas. Very strange.

Airports are so ridiculous

Just needed to go from the domestic terminal to the international terminal at SFO and it was an ordeal. Used to be albe to walk over (which was really more a trek than a walk). Now, probably because of construction or something, we have to wait in line to walk down a flight of stairs to take this 24 passenger van. On the other side there is one elevator that fits like 12 people. In between you get herded by like 6 or 7 workers, which in itself seems crazy.

The inefficiency is ridiculous.

Crazy morning flight

First the flight was 15 mins late taking off, then the plane was forced to circle around in the air for 30 mins, and then it took another 10 mind for those gate walkway things to connect us to a gate. But that wasn't the craziest thing. While I was sleeping, I had a pretty messed up dream. Somehow in my dream, the flight was very delayed, so much so that I ended up going home to wait. While I was waiting at home, I ended up falling asleep, during which I dreamt of everything that happened this morning - going through security, getting on the plane, etc. When I woke up from the dream in my dream, it was the afternoon and I missed my flight and I was freaking out. What's crazy is then I tried to wake myslef up thinking it was a dream, but it didn't work! So then I was about to call travel to get me a flight when the plane jerked and I woke up. I hope I'm actually awake now since it would be super annoying to have to sit in a cab in traffic again...

I must be in the Matrix. I've been taking the white pill (allergy medicine).
