First Hand Account of Chinese COVID Quarantine with LA to Shenzhen Flight in April 2021 (Part 1)
This is my personal experience with flying from US to China in April 2021 which can only be described as chaos. After the mandatory PCR testing and HDC QR code application, I was ready to go from LAX to Shenzhen on Air China. In Part 1, I documented the flight portion of my journey, which is just the beginning of things to come.
This video is as much to show all of you what it was like as it is for me to remember what I went through.

All of us need/want to shed some of the excesses from Christmas and New Year. People of Zanzibar are no different. On a beautiful morning in Stonetown, people in groups are out and about, and getting a good workout in before the sun comes out. I hovered my drone to follow me as I walked the beach next to Shangani Street in the heart of Stone Town.

Unfortunately geopolitics takes it's toll at the moment. Besides the piramids there are temples and other locations to be seen in the sorounding area some of them are not even present on the map. We ware lucky to have a guide back in 2007 who knew all the places even without GPS.

    Terrorists are heading there from the south, it seems (maybe they are trying to take Nuba or Marra from us), NATO is trying to erase all evidence of them (how idiotic, the bricks don't break, they jump fly everywhere, and can be rebuild for archaeological accuracy) That being said, take more reinforcements on the southern Flank, to eliminate NATO trying to fire at them (don't fire at your own people, keep comms open to know who is heading there) Go on reconnaissance north of your mountains, to see here the NATO terrorists are trying to get to them from.. find their car tracks and see where they were hiding, at night, and find whatever base or trench they were inside of, while they get blown up en route to the pyramids (I blinded the one who almost fired the rocket launcher at the pyramids, just before he shot or aimed)

    _the pyramids were very well preserved until a roman terrorist in the 19th century, went full "Indiana Jones" searching for treasure by.. blowing them up with dynamite (good job, Nobel)_ *Apparently, he played too much Assassin's Creed* 😅 but seriously, the fact that the pyramids were intact, almost as they were built ages ago.. proves how hyper-advanced ancient Aryan architecture was! _nowadays, we can barely build brick houses that collapse in several decades.. these only lost their tips, without entirely imploding or collapsing.. because of modern dynamite_ Just like those NATO terrorists trying to fire bazookas at them right now (search and destroy them), _Fast.._
