Feb 13, 2008 would be a two day adventure personally as it was a 36 hour live from Milwaukee and that you will Nanning. I remember moving away from the plane straight into the Hong Kong and realizing slightly. First, having never been outside of the nation short of Australia, and since I do not speak or opt, I had no idea of where to go to find assistance in. Second, I really wanted coffee.
But I TRULY digress, this adventure leads to in Milwaukee in my experience sitting at what number of gate, waiting for any flight to Idaho, with a people window to hop a flight to LA upon which I'll have 5 hours to kill before you leave for Hong Kong. I sat in the market airport, thinking alongside myself, " guy, you're going present China, you don't speak people from france, you don't understand how what you're repairing, just grab your home and go parrot cage, your friends offer you a lot of bejesus, but just give. "
I was terrified now. I worked myself into sort tizzy that I missed the news reports that my journey was delayed. This was an problem, because I didn't have much time for it to catch my flight to LA. I talked myself into going ahead with my journey, discovered my watch and ran towards the gate, thinking I was a little late. Ok, the time behind my flight to LA removing passed while I was under the sun to Chicago. I frantically ran the actual airport, like the household did in currently the "Home Alone" movement picture, trying to get a phone to acquire a different flight explaining i always had an overseas flight at 11: 00 pm in LA to add HK. It was 2 PM and i was still in Chicago.
I got another flight and made it to LAX with during 2 hours to be able to spare. Ok, never frequented LAX, didn't know that there's a different terminal rss feeds flights to Tiongkok. That would've behaved information for my travel agency to tell this writer. After 30 several hours of wandering, I finally present some Asian people who got me to the right terminal. For united states, it was like finding yourself in China already.
I enclosed the Cathay Pacific check-in counter, made everything in security and on to the plane for bond university 16 hour ticketed. Fast forward, I'm now in HK and its clueless! The upside, I have near to 10 hours before I go to Nanning. In order to a smoke and find my way at least, let the excitement begin. I'm in order to China, no switching around, nothing left in order to but relax, pick up, go shopping and enjoy the calm surroundings pertaining to Hong Kong International airport.
I had to add kill three a matter of hours before that Tiongkok Southern gate opened so i can get upstairs what one relax. Fast forward to boarding, small woman finds me, "you Wayne from USA? in ., "yes", "you offer me". Ok, I've been in China for several hours, bought slightly in the responsibility free shop, had for a couple beers, some noodles and spoke do some simple others traveling internationally, how the hell did I start an international issue?
Turns on an outing, they wanted to ensure my luggage, demonstrated mine. Disaster averted. Now the exhilaration is pumping, sixty minutes to go. I was the sole westerner on the plane to Nanning. I was some looks, met some great people. Communication had been pointing and smiling. Upon landing someplace Nanning, I noticed the military fighters on getting tarmac. Off the plane, passport in pants pocket, entry/exit card submitted and ready that fit entry into China. I Get inside the stall, man explores my passport and its visa, no skin condition, hand my entry/exit phone card. PROBLEM! He explores me, very sternly, so says "no red wine ink, you return. "
WoW, I just received kicked out of China and i don't have anywhere to flex. Xiuwen and I are much the same building and I don't want to see the man's! Ok, I discover the cards and send in black ink, back to similarly guy. With a closer look of discust, he stamps my partner and i passport grunts me the actual queue. It's down the stairs and I can see her standing past the swinging gates with her sister, the first glance in real life, I'll never forget it. I had couple of miscommunication with customs attempting to declare some tools, but got derived from it, walked of up to them, shook hands and wrists and said "hello. "
Stay New music For Part 3...
