Bon Voyage




Today is the day I am flying off. The flight delayed for about an hour, heard that it is a situation normal for this particular airline. The rain was pouring at the departure time, and this was the first time I used an umbrella to go in a plane, quite a refreshing experience though.

After about 10 minutes of flying, there was a glimpse of clear blue sky; soon outside the window was a whole spread of blue as we were flying over South China Sea, the plane touched down at about 18:15, after taking the check-in luggage and out of airport, it was about 19:00.


The half balded guy at the airport information counter told me there might be no bus to Macau Square as the last one was at 19:00, but I was fortunate enough to get a bus no. MT2 to Macau Square and found a cheap hostel there. To say that it is a hostel is quite a misleading term, as most people would not imagine how it actually looks like. But it is quite common in this area, and Hong Kong perhaps, because the land is so scarce. The staircase is narrow and just looks like leading up to somebody's apartment, actually, it is an apartment consists of only 6 small, untidy and dirty rooms. A seventy over lady and a young guy greeted me, I haggled for a while and finally settled at M100 for a room with bath.
