pork?\u00a0 I think it was pork.\u00a0 By that stage I had kinda given up on my service.\u00a0 Nobody was offering me a crowbar assist, that&#8217;s for sure.\u00a0 They&#8217;d run out of red wine after the first go around (really?!) and as is typical of this airline they don&#8217;t have any diet sodas of any kind.\u00a0 So no Diet Coke, Coke Light, Coke Zero&#8230; or even any of that crappy Diet Pepsi stuff.\u00a0 I asked for apple juice at one stage and that was on the cart on the other aisle so that apparently wasn&#8217;t available to me.\u00a0 After all the junk I was eating I thought I&#8217;d do a ginger ale &#8212; but not on this airline.\u00a0 Water.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll stick with water.\u00a0 They even ran out of that at one stage.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving in Shanghai I was glad to have my 10-year valid Chinese Visa from the Great Wall Marathon of 2015.\u00a0 It&#8217;s good for 10 years and even though it&#8217;s in my old, now expired passport, by showing it it&#8217;s still good.\u00a0 I could skip the 24, 72, or 144 visitor visa option and they just stamped me through.\u00a0 I said to the immigration person that I wasn&#8217;t sure what they preferred &#8212; I was happy to fill out a 24 hour one since I was just killing time before my eventual flight to Kathmandu the next morning.\u00a0 She told me with my visa I could do whatever I wanted.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t QUITE think that&#8217;s an accurate translation of what she meant as I&#8217;m pretty sure the PRC has fairly strict rules about me checking in with hotel\/stating my location and I couldn&#8217;t just vanish into the city for a few weeks without repercussions.\u00a0 But it still felt kinda nice to just get stamped and waved along.<\/p>\n<p>As Shanghai was my first point of entry to China and yet I needed to catch a domestic flight to Kunming for my final flight to Kathmandu, I thought I&#8217;d have to collect my checked bag to clear customs.\u00a0 As the last bag from my flight rolled along the turntable, I asked an official looking representative and he said my bag was checked through to Kunming so I just needed to head out and clear security for the domestic terminal.\u00a0 I really, really hoped he was right.<\/p>\n<p>I was a bit nervous about my bag therefore throughout my three hour flight to Kunming&#8230; although I dozed off here and there, my head snapping back and forth as I came and went in and out of consciousness.\u00a0 It gave me quite a kink in my neck.<\/p>\n<p>Kunming promises 95% of flights having their first bag to the turntable within 20 minutes of the door opening, and 95% of flights having the last bag out within 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-660x495.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/runkevinrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/B9690982-95AC-4214-AED5-B2BA73A0B653-450x338.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I must&#8217;ve been on the other 5 percent&#8230;

speak Chinese. \u00a0He must speak Japanese, English and since he\u2019s headed home to Nepal for a three week break I assume Nepalese. \u00a0I was trying to read my book whilst waiting for the airport shuttle back to Kunming International but something told me I should say yes to a\u00a0conversation.<\/p>\n<div>My favorite detail as I asked my dazzling conversation set of questions came about when I asked about if he had studied viruses as an undergrad. \u00a0Turns out he was a veterinarian sciences major. \u00a0He was really good at the basic science theory and taking exams, was in fact in the top three of his class, but he was terrible at the practical. \u00a0Try as he might, on any number of animals, he just kept making silly errors or forgetting things in the moment of surgery. \u00a0He deduced he\u2019d have a terrible reputation as a vet, responsible for killing way too many family pets, and that he should probably look into another line of work. \u00a0He always liked the lab work so that lead him to viruses and theoretical medicine.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I could only imagine a Dr Death Vet At Large headline was avoided by this bit of self insight.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI just wasn\u2019t very good with the application, with the patients. \u00a0I got nervous and stressed,\u201d he said. \u00a0So, ya know, better he works with strains of viruses that could wipe out humanity, right? \u00a0I saw that monkey movie with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, and Cuba Gooding

it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As always I ate too much. \u00a0Good taro dish for what it\u2019s worth.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a
