				Shanghai'ed
			 
 Here I sit in Shang Hai .  My flight is delayed (maybe cancelled, we'll see)  .  I can't get out to reticket on another airline cause i have already gone through the Chinese outgoing immigrations (yep , unlike the US , they check you coming and going here). 
The last thing you need when facing 24 hours on planes and in airports is to face a big delay right at the start.
 
OK . That's my bitching session. I feel better now......NOT!!   |
