Day 23 - on the way home - Septem 9th, 2007

September 9th was our last (half day) in China. Our driver took 3 of us to the Chengdu airport in the morning and we started our trip back to Hungary.

Some things which I still remember from that said day:
-luggage cannot be checked in to Budapest, we had to pick it up in Beijing
-in Beijing we had to fill out at least 3 different forms before we could lease the country
-changing flights from domestic to international takes at least 2 hours, several queues, small airport. I guess these guys are building a new airport for the Olympics because doesn't seem to handle a lot of passengers
-although we bought a KLM ticket our flight back was operated by China Southern, which meant: bad food, extremely small seats, boring movies on a shitty entertainment center (sometimes no sound, sometimes just bad quality), and a lost backpack (which was found 2 days after).

Acca has stayed one more day in Chengdu so he had time to visit the local Panda Zoo. He managed to see some red pandas as well.
