Hey guys,
So I have left Scotland and I am sitting in my little room of this quaint hotel in a village on the edge of London typing up this entry. Yesterday I left home at 8.30am for the last time for a whole year!! It was quite difficult to say 'farewell' to my family (you may notice I refuse to use the word 'goodbye' - this is because I know I am coming back eventually) especially to my little sister.
After 2 trains and then three underground trains in London (should have been only 2, but I got on a wrong one :P ) I finally managed to reach Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport. Seeking out my bus was easy and within 25 minutes I was checked in at this hotel. Well…I wouldn't really call it a 'hotel' - the reception was in an old fashioned house, and then the rooms are actually tenement houses on a small street in this village, Longford. Each house has 4 bedrooms and a bathroom. I am in a little box room at the front of one of these houses. It's really nice here.
But today the adventure really begins!! I shall be heading to Heathrow Terminal 3 at approximately 10.30am this morning (as this is the last bus to the airport run by my hotel…) and then I shall sit and wait on the other 20 volunteers so we can check in. Our flight is at 5pm and we shall be arriving in Hong Kong at approximately midday tomorrow China time (roughly 5am UK time) and then a 2 hour wait before our 3 and a half hour flight to Beijing where we shall be met by our 'in country PT representative,' Mike.
I am so excited and can't believe that after the past year of hard work, we actually leave today! I just hope I haven't forgotten anything!! :P
So the next time you hear from me, I will be in China! :D
So until next time,
Zàijiàn x
P.S. You may not have realised but I have been running two blogs so far. Both of these included identical information. I have decided that running two is a bit silly, so I have decided to continue with the other one. You can follow the rest of my year here.
