Back in China

Monday, March 19th, 2018

We returned to China on Halloween. Sorry to say, it wasn’t too scary.

Waiting

The flight was delayed. No one was at the airport to meet us. So, a bit scary.

 

Hong Kong

We left Surabaya about 8:00 am and arrived in Hong Kong at about 12:00 pm. We were to have a three-hour layover, then it became four, and then soon enough it was more.

 

 

Hong Kong

We arrived in Wuhan about 10:30 pm. We called the school and finally realized we were on our own.

 

Someone overheard us speaking English and came over.

He said he was an UBER driver, and we let him talk to the school. Let’s be honest, he could have been sharing a recipe for corn-beefed hash. We followed him to his car because we didn’t have many options.

The ride was pleasant, but our little guy was tired, hungry and cold.

We arrived at a darkened school to find out that the apartment wasn’t ready and we were then taken to a dodgy hotel. It was clean. We fell asleep. Too early the next morning we grabbed all our stuff and went off to see the apartment. It was nowhere near ready. After visiting the school, we found another hotel and did our best imitation of relaxing.

(more to come)
