You have to see how much people, like me now, here in SZ airport try to find a seat to back home, I think somehow we should make some investment in airline, railway or expressway.
Wish you a Happy New Year and I attach a Chinese Tiger Poem for your fun reading.
呵呵，够土够俗够直白。俺很喜欢，说出了真心愿！
一二三四五，上山逗老虎 。
摇摇老虎头，吃穿不用愁；
摸摸老虎腿，月月加薪水 ；
拍拍老虎背，存款翻十倍；
亲亲老虎嘴，生活好滋味 。
祝大家： 虎年行大运！ 天天都快乐！ 日日都靓丽！

Part II of my venture to Home during CNY in ShenZhen.
The good news is I got my flight ticket an hour ago.
The bad news is the flight is delayed due to bad weather and the airport has transferred all of us to a hotel.
The funny news is this Hotel (Shenzhen Hanyong Hotel. 0755-29938888) only has one room type --- single large bed room.
You can call me now, if you have time :) I am in room 615.
The ridiculous story is the Xiamen airline requires two persons to share one room and one bed.
So you can start imagine the complaint from the crowd and the potential romantic stories emerging in the New Year Journey.
I could never imagine this kind of scenario. Life is full of surprises.
Keep you updated.

Part III of my venture to home.
At the 2:40am in the morning, we are waken up by bus drivers and then delivered to the Airport.
Yo hoo.
I am dreaming that I can get on board eventually after +15 hours waiting and having an unexpected roommate.
Yes, it is a dream.
Have you heard that the passengers go on strike?
Due to the long delay of the flight, the passengers from Chongqing to ShenZhen as a group decided to stay on the flight in order to ask for compensation of their inconvenience caused by the weather and the ignorance of the airline's ground service team.
I suddenly understand the power of people even my brain is not functioning well in such a late night.
Well, it is actually a new day and there is a hope. It is not from the Sun, but from three looked-like senior officers joining the negotiation.
Pay or not pay. Go or stay. I know I wanna go. But I can not afford paying the 300+ and let them go.
Could someone give the 300+'s mom a New Year Call so that they can ring their children to go home earlier, instead of sitting in a black box for too long?
Hey, at least I get one bottle of water now. One other pack of snack will be better as I am hungry as well.
I must be dreaming again -- Can I just have a piece of white bread or a Tingyi noodle box in 4:34am on February 12, 2010, one day before the Chinese New Year Eve!
Life also needs food and water.
Good morning, everyone.

Part IV of my venture to Home.
The happy beginning.
Some one gives up and I can go home now.
Life needs a flight, actually an hour flight. And maybe a congee from home.
Hopefully this is end of 2009's delirious trip.
Hopefully you all enjoy my trip note.
All my best to you
On boarding.
