I thought it would tip over! When we walked out of the international arrivals/customs area there was a tunnel of people holding signs to pick people up. This picture shows the outside of the tunnel (it is to the left, but you can't really tell). Our first look at China! Our drive back from the airport again. It was about a 50 minute drive. I only thought that we were going to crash about 3 times. On the drive from the airport. It is raining and foggy out (or just raining and polluted).
