3 flights to get there
I cant think of any ridiculous story to tell this time involving my departure to Chengdu.
There has been no airline problems involving aliens emerging from volcanoes, my roof isnt leaking, and to my knowledge all nuclear reactors in the immediate vicinity of Sichuan province are maintaining containment.
Here in Australia, we have again tried to oust our prime minister, but no one wants the job. A call for volunteers for the top job in Australia resulted in most of the candidates resigning. Basically 'I would rather quit than be prime minister'.
Enough of that, this trip I am going to Sichuan Province in China, specifically 2 main cities, Chengdu and Chongqing. These locations are famous for eating pandas in the form of hot pot. Its a little known fact but the cuddly creatures are a menace due to massive over population. Bear meat is very good for virility though, so I am excited.
I am hoping to meet the divine leader of the middle kingdom, the recently announced mr Xi Jinping whilst on my journeys, his magical powers are legendary, apparently he once grew up in a rural village in poverty and became president. I saw a news story about his impoverished upbringing so it must be true!
Its me, and each trip I take my eyebrows become just a little bit more awesome. Coming up next trip, grey eyebrows!
Qantas have again rightly recognised the awesomeness of my eyebrows and have placed me in seat 1A for free so that I can greet each of the other passengers by raising them in suspicion.
