I have decided to keep a journal of my journey to China, I'm back now but will post the logs of each day to you gradually...enjoy...
Mon 25th Feb - The Dialog popped up on my computer that says "CD created successfully" - Joy...I have music...(A bit of kylie, sneakerpimps, barenaked ladies, madison avenue, jlo, natalie imbruglia)
Left my house 12ish or 1ish or something like that by a cab...Gotta say, At this point I'm pretty unsure about this trip...2 weeks with my dad and my brother and no other familiar human contact?
About 5 minutes into the ride I realise I forgot to print out my uni work! bugger! Was already missing a week of lectures, and was hoping not to fall too far behind, but oh well...maybe it's better this way.
Nothing of note really occurred till we got into the duty free areas...looked around alot, and found 500ml vodka for $5!!!!! SWEET! Snapped that up (limit one per customer).
So - I've got the essentials...Music, Clothing, Alcohol...
Boarded the CX100, man do those planes hoon getting ready for take off...The entertainment was pretty cool...Loads of good music (JLo, Natalie Imbruglia, Daniel Bedingfield), and I watched "The Others"...Quite good...
Through the flight I had been ordering drinks...mainly vodka/lemon-squash (which consistently resulted in vodka/lemonade). Probably 3 hours before the end of the flight I ordered a Scotch, and later a Double Rum and Coke...It was here that I found out the flight attendent had been mostly serving me triples already...not good...
I spent the next hour throwing up in the bathroom...the toilet, the sink...Left my glasses in there apparently...Was nice of them to bring them back to the seat for me...
Apparently on the was up to the bathroom I grabbed the woman's head sitting in front of me...But she deserved it, she had her seat on my god damn lap...
Finally arrived at Hong Kong airport...It's nice, but all I really wanna do is get to bed...
Finally we got to the Royal Pacific Hotel...The rooms are small, but the common areas are satisfactory - So I can handle this for a night :).
Gotta say - Hong Kong with it's bridges and buildings and harbour are pretty awesome at night...but sleep is more important than taking the time to appreciate this...
