Landed: Shenzhen

"Wow. We have a bunch of time to kill until our next flight. Hey! Lets walk around, talk to some people (now that we are back in a country we speak the language!) and let Titus hug some stuffed animals"
"Sounds great! Lets do it!"

Enter Swiss army knife store

"So do you guys sell knives here?"
"Yes! Do you want to take a look?"
"Yeah. So if I buy one, can I bring it with me on the plane? I already checked my bags."
"Yeah, no problem (she whips out a smaller pocket knife). This one you they let you bring through security"
"Hu. So are you telling me that there are people on my flight with these dangerous knives? Do you know how many thieves there are around here?"
"It is really no problem. You shouldn't be scared."
"I have heard that there are not even any police on the planes. Don't you feel bad selling these potentially dangerous weapons?"
"Well if you feel threatened, you should really think about buying one to protect yourself in case something happens."
"No thanks, I don't want to further escalate the security situation...."

Exit Swiss army knife store. Enter knick knack store. Start trying out a neck massage device.

"So what are the benefits of this thing?"
"It can help you to relax after a stressful day. Also, it has substantial health benefits because it helps improve your blood circulation."
"Oh! Can it help with leukemia? That is a sickness of the blood."
"hmmm, not really sure. That would make sense though. It probably has some advantage in that case."
"Ok, great! I hear that is a very serious sickness. I should get one just in case. That way, I won't have to spend so much on a doctor."
"Well, I am not so sure...it might not completely cure it. I would probably still go to the doctor."
"Ok, bummer. I was really hoping I could solve that problem. Thanks anyway!"

We had some other fun ones, but just to give you a flavor.
