Leaving is an endless process which is completely inefficient as they send you from line to endless line including preliminary security, passport check, ticketing, second passport check, immigration and customs to hand in your yellow slip and have your passport stamped again. Each of these steps feels endless with line of at least 20 to 100 people. Then when you finally get past customs and immigration, you are sent into the security check line which is almost odd considering how deep into the bowels of the airport you are. Standard procedures has you take out your laptop and battery packs and for some reason an umbrella. You remove your shoes and go through the metal detector machine and if all feels sort of normal until they get you through that thing and put you onto this little stand for a pat down but unlike the standard wand swipe you may get in the USA, here a Chinese guy gives you a full cavity search. This is like getting a Chines massage except instead of a Chinese girl it's some dude named Yuan and he's got his hands in places that nobody's hands have ever been.
It's the most thorough pat down you can imagine and any hope you had of a comfortable flight now is gone along with your innocence
