There must have been a black storm cloud hanging over my head in Shanghai because another severe rainstorm with lightning broke out just as our in-bound flight was arriving, forcing it to land at Hangzhou airport an hour away. It took a very very long time for that plane to make it back to Shanghai. We eventually left at 2 am (scheduled departure was 6pm), and arrived into a closed Shenzhen airport at 4 am Monday morning sans luggage. The bags are still in Shanghai. But I had a lucky break in that a colleague from the China team was on the same late flight, so she could help me at the Lost Luggage counter, and we hunted down literally the only available taxi at Shenzhen airport that morning. We had to walk through a dark terminal to get there. So as I arrived here in Dameisha at 6.15am, I begged off going into work this morning, and will go in only this afternoon.
So – Polite language and no noising, please (sign from a line at the Expo): I need to get some sleep.
