China Trip-Part 1

22/2- Last minute packing before leaving for China. Depart from Penang airport to LCCT at 10.30pm. Reach LCCT abt 11.25 and took a cab to Concorde Inn to rest for the night.

23/2-6am depart from Concorde Inn to LCCT again. At least we got some rest. Departure at 8.15am but checked in at 6.30am. Waited for the flight for 1 and half hours before boarding.

The flight took abt 5 hrs before reaching HangZhou. AirAsia X's cool as we can watch movies and got some entertainment. But of course you have to pay. It doesnt matter as long as it kept me company for the whole 5 hrs!
Watching Devil wears Prada
Reached HangZhou airport at abt 1.20pm. So hungry so we settled for lunch at McD before departing for Xi'an at 4pm. Wahlau, the McD's menu all in chinese! Both of us 'cheh kong'! So we jus simply pick. Guess wat? The McD so much better than in M'sia!


After lunch, we went to check in for our flight(Hainan Airlines). I waited so long for my turn. Then when almost reaching my turn, then only i realise many ppl there just don't queue!! Damn! So one person will gif the passport and i hold the lugguage. Have to squeeze with old ladies! Luckily, the person at the counter knew they weren't queueing up. So we got our turn 1st. Muahahah!!

After check in, we proceed to the departure hall waiting for boarding. Then when it's time to board, many ppl jump queue again =.=". I mean c'mon la..got seat number leh!!

The plane wasn't a very big one. Very hard to understand the air hostess' english. And i saw the card for emergency purpose being labelled "JUST IN CASE". I was puzzled when I first saw it. Wakakaka!

We arrived at Xi'an airport at about 6.15pm. Our driver was waiting for us already. I tried to go to the toilet at the airport and guess what? Cannot lock eh!! So forget it la...go back to hotel then only go.

The very first thing when i got into the car, i really tak biasa with the driver's side. It's on the left. Our's is on the right. Then i was also quite surprise by the traffic there. Scary lohhh! Like no traffic rules punya. Ppl can cross at anywhere anytime they want. Cars can even go at red light.

Finally reached hotel at 7.30pm like dat. Soooo tired and hungry. Decided to go outside to find food. So we went to Muslim Street to see if we can find anything. There were so many ppl at the place. Something like wat we call pasar malam here. But lots of makan stall. We tried the dumpling in soup. The soup a lil spicy. Oso ordered cold noodles. I preferred the cold noodles. Dumplings tasted weird. Somemore so big bowl.

We walked around for a while then took a cab back to hotel as we were tired already.
