Bah. You haven't really pushed it until you go to mainland China for a two day visit. Between cars, trains, planes, and ferries, we're talking 24-26 hours each way. Add 2-6 hours if you can't get direct flights.

Try that once, and you'll recognize the insanity. Do it 5 times in 8 weeks, and you realize that both you and your employer are certifiable.
