Leilei's first time in China

The last time I got on an aeroplane to go to China for three weeks was nearly exactly two years ago but this time there were two major differences; the last trip got unintentionally elongated to four months, and my fellow passengers Tan and Leilei were the cause and result of that respectively. Unfortunately, this time the trip will not be lengthened due to work constraints. We’d managed to get flights in the morning from City Airport via Paris to Guangzhou. Leilei was small enough to warrant us getting seats at the bulkhead so that we could plug in a mini-cot to the wall in front of us and allow him to sleep while we attempted to do the same. This was a godsend, and it was an added bonus that I had proper leg room at no extra cost. It wasn’t the easiest flight but it could have been a lot worse.
