H1N1 Screening In Shenzhen, China from Andrew Lang on Vimeo.

The funnier thing was that they pulled my dad out of line to do a bunch of screening on him. I waited for him for a bit and then he finally came through customs looking like this:

Dad Gets Pwnd By H1N1 Screening at ShenZhen Airport

As sad as it is Shenzhen is a familiar place to me now. We’re staying in the same hotel we’ve stayed in the last few times we’ve been here and I kind of feel like I have the whole situation figured out. Ray and Anderson came by the hotel an hour or so after we arrived and took me to go get a bite to eat. I pretty much know the area around the hotel.

I had them help me negotiate a 2 week gym membership at the gym in walking distance from our hotel. I was hoping we could ge them down to 20 bucks for 2 weeks, seems reasonable to me. I guess the best they could do was 30 bucks, kind of a ripoff but its a lot better than doing pull ups on a tree and situps in grass.

“Work” starts tomorrow at the factory. I actually like working there since, even more than usual, nobody knows what my job really is so I basically get to do whatever I want. I’ll probably spend most of the day working on the website for Lightning MMA and talking with Bala on MSN and stuff. I love being here, the people are awesome, so much nicer than people are in Cali. I don’t know if its just this atmosphere that makes me friendlier or knowing that they wouldn’t understand my sarcasm but I feel like I’m a better person when I’m over here.
