Back Home

The flight from Beijing to Newark was supposed to be 13 hrs and 25 minutes. There's always something going on in the NY/NY airspace and I never expect to arrive or depart on time when I'm in this area. This time, heavy thunderstorms rolled into the area. After some delays, the plane landed, got through customs/immigration and found my way to the gate. The plane arrived in Houston late. I'm back home - with a cough and cold that I caught in Beijing 2 days prior to my return flight.

There were 70 channels on TV, 3 are in English: CNN Asia, a Singaporean News Channel and one Chinese channel that broadcasts (most of the time in English). Saw this one on the Chinese channel: Olivia Newton-John still sings?



No kidding, regular people go the park, sing, dance, play games and socialize:



The obligatory tea ceremony where you are given 4 different kinds of tea. Thereafter, you may buy tea, tea sets and accessories such as mugs and the Chinese pee-pee boy (which I might have a video later on):
