Burnin' the Midnight Oil

It's approaching 3AM here in Chicago, and Xiang is still at it; keeping the world's freight flowing, aloft and afloat;
Libyan civil unrest and Somali Pirates be damned!

Taxiing for Takeoff

Xiang moping about going back to work.

Spic 'n Span

This little guy swooped into my stall to clean it as soon as I exited...

...call it his *porcelain rice bowl*!!!

Please Be Seated

If I never see another one of those holes in the floor which pass for *facilities* in China, it'll be too soon.

At least the Airport has modern toilets!

(More on this whole issue later.)

Tea for 3

Last sips before the "No Liquids" rule takes effect.

Beijing Bye-bye...

Been *off-device* for a few days now, and time to catch-up before they tell me to shut it off pre-flight.

That's right, flying out now, and I'll lose my transmission capabilities soon as well, so gotta hustle!

Massive Airport - BJE!!!

See U @ ORD!!!

The Family Li

I must tear myself away from my non-clandestine surveillance of the goings-on at the BUCT Campus and facilities; as the pack of ravenous Wolves with whom I am staying have already put out the morning's spread, and are now proceeding to devour it.

Simple rules here: Get to the table quickly or starve!
