Day 7: Today we came back to Nanjing. The day started early: we got up at 5, checked out, and took two cabs to the airport. Of course, Josef got a picture of himself doing a handstand in the Sheraton lobby before we left!
At the airport, the ticket counter gave Seth a little bit of a hard time, but ultimately they let him buy a ticket with his passport copy. The security check was another story, though. Once again, Seth was the last in line, and they took his ID and made us wait. At first, they said there was no way he could get on the plane, but finally, after going back and forth to different managers for half an hour, they told him to go to the police station, make a new ID, and use that to get on the plane. The final miracle of the trip!
I slept the whole plane ride, and we took a shuttle bus back to Zhonghuamen station. I lost my cell phone on the bus, but only realized it as I left on the subway. Now it's gone forever, and I'm looking at iPhone 4s on Ebay. Oh well - these things happen. And thus ends the chronicle of our trip west!
