The flight here was fun. For some reason, my flight to Chicago was delayed a good half hour, so when I got to O'Hare I had 9 minutes to figure out where to go to get on the Shanghai flight. At least it worked out. The Shanghai flight was stupid. We flew from Chicago in a path headed for Xian, or maybe the eastern tip of India, which is completely stupid because Shanghai is on the eastern coast of China. On the Mongolian border we made an 80 or 85 degree left turn, which put us on course for Korea. After that, we just kept making seemingly random turns all over the place until we got to Shanghai almost 15 hours after departure.
Of course the first thing I do after getting here is walk around looking for wifi. Unfortunately the only access point I could find requires me to sit at a windowsill, and I'm still dropping packets like water-filled bags out a 12th story hotel window. It takes me a good 2 or 3 seconds before I can see what I'm typing right now. Sometimes it lags and it takes 30 seconds before it does anything.
Charles, what did you mean in your comment? I didn't quite get it.
