ICONS South Australia at Adelaide Airport is the best of SA all in one shop.
SA wines by the glass (well, it was lunchtime) and choice of local platters and not at airport prices either! Yummy farewell to the favourite SA wines, cheese, dips, chocolates-well worth a visit when next at the airport (maybe not 6am journeys).
Flight to KL was uneventful, watched "Goal" and "Spiderwick Chronicles" in between being amused by a collective of golfers enroute to 12 days away and not a female caddy in sight.
Stayed overnight near airport catching shuttle making it an easy start to the next day. Not the posh PanPacific but it was suitable and at Malaysian Airlines ticket price.

Sourced a bottle of Bombay Gin and cruised through security unlike travels last year.
Flight to Guangzhou was 2/3rds empty so it was very quiet.
Quick transit through Immigration and Customs to be collected by English First rep who drove me to Railway station to catch train to Shenzhen. 2 hours in traffic reminded me about multilevel roads, flyovers, patient drivers, bamboo scafolding, maximum size billboards and Olympic advertising.
Train ride was smooth, 50 mins @ 180kph. Met at SZ station, quick ride to Hotel.
24th floor overlooking a part of the city. Compact room with flat screen TV (2 -85 channels in English), comfy China hard bed (soft pillows), small living areaand kitchennette. This is home for 4 days before alternative arrangements to fit in with my teaching location (another district from here 45mins by taxi a long and unnecessary commute). Hope next has fridge and internet connection.
Sunday and Monday are orientation days then I have no idea what after that.

Havent seen a westerner yet and I wandered around for 2 hours in 33 degrees, bright sunshine and true to form found by accident the large supermarket area to stock up on nibbles and water.
Found the Tonic water yesterday, big relief.
There is a yappy dog living on this floor somewhere , still no suprises when you travel outside normal regions.
