Recently I find myself not having any luck at all with my flights back to Sweden.
This spring I had a delay so I had to wait at the airport for 6-7 extra hours. You think, Can get worse than this right? Well it can and it did this time.
My flight to Beijing was only about 15 min late but even so it together with a very strict and complicated system at the airport made me miss my connecting flight to Amsterdam that was suppose to depart at 00:30. My new flight was 11:50 in the morning... So 11 hour wait in the middle of the night, no WiFi to get in contact with my parents, almost no money and can’t speak the language of the personal + a missing checked in luggage... I was defiantly at my stress limit. Not to say that I with this new flight would arrive 22:20 in the evening of the 23rd in Gothenburg and the original plan was 9:30 in the morning.. sucked big time.
Around 2:30-3:00 after spending hours trying to get my baggage back with no luck, I manage to get to a hotel. Feared for my life a little when I was chased into a car by the airport personal and they just drove of with me saying “ Hotel, near, sleep”.. yes terrifying. But I did end up at a nice hotel that I had to pay a big sum just to get a room to sleep in for 3-4 hours. Thatnk’s to the hotel wi-if I manage to send a e-mail to my mom. She called me back so I could inform her of all thing that had gone wrong. Apparently they can call me but the apps don’t work in the “out” direction even with WiFi. No FB or anything. That’s China for you. Felt very very secluded and “shut in” to me.
Can’t wait to leave Beijing. Defiantly had enough of this!
I hope this is the only negative post I will make in a while and even if the start was hard the rest of my almost two weeks in Sweden will be as amaznign as I hoped it to be!
Many hugs!
