Monday - 9/15

Not much to report from this day. We had a lazy morning, then left for the airport. We flew on China Air from Beijing to Guangzhou. It was a 3 hr flight. (I actually made it under the weight limiit on the luggage!)
We ate at a KFC at the airport. Although it's similar to the ones at home, it's not exactly the same. I've never seen egg tarts or dragon wraps on the menu at home. We played it safe and got the chicken. It was good, but it tasted a little different. To order, we just pointed at pictures. I'm having a hard time getting used to the yuan vs dollar thing. Even though the meal was only about $18 USD, when it rings up $101.50, it still makes my heart skip a few beats.
And believe it or not, there seemed to be a little more leg room on this plane than the one we flew in coming to Beijing. We were picked up by a van at the airport. I would not want to drive in China. People drive VERY close, and the lanes are very narrow. Guangzhou seems loud and brassy - lots of neon lights on the way in.
