On the airport at Urumqi they asked us to open our boxes again and we had to remove the knives we bought for Eric and our dad. It was weird to us that they would say the stowaway luggage cannot have knives in them. But we were nearly late for our flight and didn’t have time to argue with the people there, not that it would have helped any case because they’re just doing what they were told.
Once in Guangzhou we headed back to Eric’s place who himself was on his way back to China from America and would only arrive the next evening. His girlfriend Jane opened his flat for us and took us to dinner than evening. She also showed us around town. The next couple of days were spent eating lots, watching DVD’s and going around with Eric to some factories in the Guangzhou area. One day we also walked up Lotus Mountain in Chang An which was great fun.
I was happy when it the time came for our flight back to South Africa because I knew Claudine would be waiting for me at the airport and it has been four months since I saw her the last time. That said I am still disappointed because we had to turn back so early. I would have to go back some time to try again.
