Posting from International Check-in at Beijing International Airport....
I was actually supposed to get home last night, but Air China had other plans. At least I have quite the story out of it. I'd originally booked a 2 hour 45 min layover in Beijing, figuring that would be plenty of time. However, our Hangzhou-Beijing flight was delayed 2 hours. Then, the pilot made two go-arounds at Beijing, very bumpy (cue the airsick bags and retching noises from fellow passengers), each time getting w/in about 30 feet of the ground, before giving up (due to high winds, I guess), and we diverted to Tianjin. In Tianjin they kept us on the plane on the tarmac out at the end of their runway for close to 4 hours. At least the AC worked there. They ran out of water, and then orange juice. Finally, they refueled and flew the plane back to Beijing, arriving only 8 hours late. At least I wasn't alone (two other americans on the flight in the same situation as me), and Air China did, after some convincing, spring for a hotel for the night.
Clearly the simplest possible explanation for this is that I'm destined to make some universe-shattering discovery in the future, the echoes of which are rippling backward in time to try to prevent my return to the US.
Great post you got here. I'd like to read something more concerning that matter.
