September 18 - take off

Thursday around noon we all met at Brussels Airport. All packed and ready to go. None of the problems we had foreseen for checking in occured. We were allowed to take all our instruments as handluggage and the few kilos that exceeded the limits were for free.

After a short flight to Frankfurt we had a connection to Shanghai. Ten hours on the plane were enough to practice our Chinese. Around 3 AM Brussels time we arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport. The day already started, since we skipped forward 6 hours. We got there without any problems, didn't we? Just one little problem we had to solve. Chinese customs wanted Steven to declare all his harmonica's and pay import taxes for them. It took him over half an hour to explain that he needed them all to play. After a long discussion Steven's boyish charm and a Rhythm Junks album did the trick.

Wat "backstreet boys-hits" uitgetest of met jullie homebrewed stuff gescoord?

De groeten, de Belgen en de B in de wortel!!!
