 First impressions of #China 🇨🇳 airport:
- cameras everywhere, really visible and noticeable
- Damus works smooth 🤙🏾
- No manual stairs, all moving staircases

 Journalist Tanksen. 😄 Nice! 👍 

I was astonished that cameras everywhere is something locals in Asia really favor.

‚That is for safety‘ seems to be the overall sentiment. … For real. Not at all forced upon.

 I would be interested in your mobile stack on your travels: are you experiencing issues with the great firewall?
Are you using a VPN? If so which provider and protocol?
Any other fishy things? Did they search your phone on arrival?

 I booked some data via holatly upfront actually.
That worked very well I have to say. Only with that data I could basically do anything.
WiFi of Hotel did always block western social media.
No phone search on arrival.
VPN yes, I tried it also at the beginning, but had the impression it did not work consistently…
