Those chinese guys must really have it rough, always having to dig upward....it's hard on the shoulders. No wonder they can all fly like they show in the movies.

You'll be digging towards the center of the earth; but since you will be right side up when you dig, you will think you are digging down.

You are digging up, but down at the same time!
