The signage is a constant source of amusement in China. This is good advice from Air China in the VIP Lounge.
This is very bad advice in the bathroom. I will be flushing that stuff, no matter what the sign says!
Spent two days in Harbin with suppliers and had a banquet dinner.
I was told this is a very endangered fish caught in Harbin river and it’s forbidden to catch or eat. “Why is it being severed here then?!” I asked in bewilderment.
“Well, it’s China. No one follows the rules” I was told.
Jet lag means that I can catch the 4:30 am sunrises of Harbin.
I headed back to Beijing for the weekend. On the flight from Harbin to Beijing, I typed up this on my phone, which is now free and easy to post, but doesn’t seem so fascinating anymore.
On the way back from the plane restroom I sat in an empty isle seat while the isle way was blocked by the food service carts.
The little piggy who was sitting next to me, actually on the other side of the empty middle seat, thank god, went to town on the free air china food. Gobbled up the sandwich which was composed of a hamburger bun, a thin piece of cold-cut and a giant gob of mayonnaise the instant he got it in his hand, simultaneously flailing his other arm to get the second one with first still in his mouth. Got an orange juice, slammed it and held out his cup for a refill right away. Slammed that and asked for a coffee. Slammed it and asked for a second.
I was getting worried with the thoughts "please don't eat me!" Fortunately the isle way cleared up and I got to back to my seat, sitting where it smelt like someone broke a bottle of cheap vodka and got it all over their clothes. Traveling in China!
