This is exciting. Since the beginning of my Seat Buddy Profiles series, I've yet been able to write a profile on Chinese travelers. I've had seat buddies who are Chinese, obviously, but last time it was a middle-aged guy who was mostly concerned in sleeping throughout the flight, and before that I did have a very interesting discussion with a Chinese tour guide, but it was long before I started this project and I'd mostly forgotten what we talked about.
This time was also a bit different because I flew via Moscow, because the non-stop between Shanghai and Helsinki by Finnair was simply overbooked and thus too expensive. Yay Aeroflot for: 1) better in-flight film and entertainment selection, 2) little luxury such as slippers and eye-shades (yes, even in economy!), but nay for the lagged-behind luggage due to extreme short layover time in Moscow, which in turn was because of the first flight being delayed... Well, I could consider myself lucky that the luggage arrived the next day and didn't get lost, for example.
Anyway, you probably came here to read about Yanwen and Mingjian, and not hear about my rambles about airlines.
