So my mother mad it to Kunming in one piece....HURRAY!!!! So i have arranged this private driver to pick her up from the airport and We left with plenty of time to spare. Everything is going great!!!! So her flight was supposed to arrive 7:45pm and the driver says that she probs wont get in until 8pm which is fine by me....We arrive at the airport at 7:10pm, and parking in China cost by the half hour. There is nothing free in china except for......UUUUMMMM...nothing is free in china. So we stop on the highway on the side of the road....and it is common....there are other cars doing this and i sit in the vehicle twiddling my thumbs while the driver is out on the highway having a smoke. Finally after about 30 minutes, we head into the airport.....It is a brand new airport and looks awesome. We are reviewing the arrivals board and there it is.....mom's plane....it's arrival time was 7:45pm....ETA is 8:50PM....WOW!!!! the driver said she was going to be a little late....BOY was she every late. Her flight was just a 1 hour flight from Nanning. We were sitting on the highway and she had not left Nanning airport yet....No worries...My candy that she was carry was not damaged....It was a relief. So we end up getting to her hotel around 10PM which lost her reservation or never got it..IT IS CHINA!?
So the day started off with a little fear and excited...YUP, you guessed ...Kunming had a mild earthquake, but it was enough to shake her hotel room and my apartment building (across the street). There was no damage done...It was just shaking of the buildings.
