| CHina Eastern |
Back from Shanghai!!! The weather is simply great over there, enjoyed myself... n as usually there are some negative pointst too... BUT its too late.. will give a detailed but that can wait as I need to sleep soon. There is something that I have to write... something that I cannot wait.. my exprience with China Eastern Airline and Shanghai Airport.
On Thursday morning, I dragged myself out of bed, hurried to the airport early in the morning only to realise that.. the flight is CANCELLED!!! We have to wait for more than an hr to board another plane. My gosh.. that is an extra hour of precious bedtime! When we finally got on the plane, I was kinda disappointed... the tix ain cheap and it didn't live up to my expectations. The food wasn't good too but all my unhappiness disappeared when I arrived in China because the weather is prefect for travelling!
Sunday evening, was rushed to the airport as the traffic condition in Shanghai is rather unpredictable and we do not want to be caught in a jam. In fact, we were tooooo early... soooo early that we just stoned away. The 3 of us (Eddy, Sheena and myself) being the obedient Singaporeans followed the instructions on the boarding pass. It stated flight time is 2000, Gate 25.. thus we journeyed (long long walk) to Gate 25 and waited patiently. However, at 1930, we got a little suspicious as the boarding area seems pretty empty and there was no plane in sight so we decided to check the board that states all the timing etc etc.. it was then we realised that it has been changed to Gate 15! There was no announcement over the PA system about the change and its not that they do not use the PA system as there were plenty of announcements. So we hurried to Gate 15! However, 10 mins before 8pm, there was an announcement that totally dampered my mood................................... plane will be delayed for an hour! By then, we were hungry and tired, and personally I was sick of the airport lights as it was giving me a headache! More suitable for a stadium.
We found good seats for waiting and barely 5 mins after settling down, there was another announcement.... it has been changed to Gate 14! Arrgh.. more walking.. more waiting...
Finally 9pm! I was waiting and hoping for the announcement to inform us that we can board. 5 mins passed... nothing! 10 mins passed.... still nothing! so eddy stood by the window to look and the plane was still loading food and other goods! My gosh.. i almost fainted. Finally at about 920pm, we boarded the plane and the plane wasn't soaring in the skyt till almost 10pm.
In the end, we missed the bus E22 back to Kowloon Tong so we took another bus A21. We intended to stop at Ching Yi but stopped at Meifoo instead. Took the cab back and thankfully it costed only HK 40. Finally arrived at the hostel at about 130am.
I need efficiency! Guess the plane wasn't ready and the typhoon signal 3 in HK isn't helping much.
Oh yah.. on the way to Shanghai.. do not know if its the Hk side or Shanghai side broked the elastic band on the top of my bag. Thankfully its not important!!!
I am going to find Master Chow (Zhou Gong) now |
