China Eastern brings in "Special Livery"

Earlier this month China Eastern had one of their A330's repainted into a special livery advertising "Eastday.com" a Chinese company. I looked up the website www.eastday.com but unfortunately it is in Chinese and I couldn't understand it. We found out it was coming in so with my wife and eldest daughter in tow we headed off to the airport to get the arrival. We also decided to wait for the departure.

Arriving at the airport around 9.30am we had a surprise in the way of the daily Emirates A380 which usually departs at 8.15am was still on the ground. It ended up pushing back at 10.03 and taxied out for departure to Auckland New Zealand.
