day 7 going home

Last day and it was a long day flying home. First bus to airport, then flight to Hong Kong, then to Shanghai, then bus home.

When we arrived at Hong Kong airport, it was about 1:30 pm. As usual so many people here there were, and we didn't realize special things there. But later we got to know the first confirmed swine flu case was just discovered from here, about half an hour before us. Fortunately we only felt a little tired after all and none of us reported high fever.

Compared to swine flu, I experienced once again 'cat flu', put by friend I. When we landed at Shanghai, I reminded again, beside the first time on the bus in the morning, that we should all queue up in the same order as on our group visa. But they walked so fast that I couldn't keep pace with us no matter how hard I tried. When I was fighting for breath across Pu dong airport's big terminal 2, they already clotted together in front of immigration counter. The officer then scolded me for the mess and even in front of him my group hesitated to follow the order. I felt so embarrassed all the way, especially when the officer finally gave me the receipt of the group visa smiling sympathetically.

Around 9:30 I got home. Thank god, a long day was over. I didn't get swine flu and immunized, the cat flu was away from me too, finally.
