Today we was up and out by 7 to get breakfast before we had to go to the airport. this time we didnt have

the luxary of the lexus just a standard coach not impressed ha. we got dropped off at some sort of

secret check in area where there was no one else about just a few people so that was easy, then we had a

million miles to walk for security check before getting on a train to our terminal (they have a private subway

inthe aiport). we spent most of our time in duty free because there was that many different shops.

once we arrived in China we was stuffed on another train like sardines to get from the terminal

to baggage collection just my luck kerris's bag came first and mine came last (not happy). we was

met by a little old man who spoke no word of english and had probably the worst car in the whole

parking lot it was awesome. after 40 minutes on the motor way watchig hectic driving and horns beeping

we turned off into a little town. It had just tunred midnight so all the lights were off and

to our joy the driver tunred down a street that we can only describe as somethingyou would

see on comic relief!!! dark, dirty, dingy and smelt like rotting boddies, old little shops and

houses and no sign of a hotel, by this point we was both dreading what was about to come, then

out of the darkness there was a half decent hotel down this backstreet and i dont think we have

ever been so relieved in all our lives. once we got out of the car and into the hotel lobby there

was no one about and not a single light on, then the moodist chinese man in the country appeard

clearly not happy about our arrival, once we checked in we got found the room still bright eyed and

bushy tailed with body clocks still on Dubai time. We both wanted to go out do something or

see something but none ofus felt safe enough walking through the chinese streets of compton at

1 in the moring ha so we had a little skype with the parents and got our heads down before we met

the tour group the next day.
