So, I'm not the best passenger on air planes, I usually just remain in fetal position for the duration of the flight.

I was taking a flight to Shanghai with Air China and it was a relatively smooth flight. I was in unusually good spirits, even managed to watch a movie. Then we landed. After touching ground the whole plane was flashing in red lights. It took me like 2 minutes of erratic panic to realize that they were displaying a waving Chinese flag on the screens and thus it was flashing red. Should've fucking given me a heads-up, man.
