Hi.
This is a bit of my personal rant/sharing of what I experienced in China in the last.. almost 3 months.
My first day in China was the worst day so far. All thanks to the bitch from Qatar Airways who fcked up my flight so bad even now Im mad. During transit in Qatar, because my flight to Qatar was late and there were only 5 minutes until departure for Beijing. So she asked me and 2 other guys for same flight if we have any checked in luggage. The guys say no, I say yes. After 5minutes of her doing idk what. She makes us rush to the flight from one side of airport to another(run faster than sanic). I thought my luggage would make it. Oh boy was I wrong.
So my luggage was left in Qatar. And I had to wait 3 days in Beijing with no clothes or anything (and buying clothes my size was a nightmare in progress). Luckily the QA agent was helpful and gave me some damages repayment for the screw up. (barely enough to pay off the delays).
I did have Peking duck though. Not as great as I imagined. The air was.. okay. A bit stingy to the eyes. The people didnt pay attention to me. So it was okay. There were friendly people who came and say hi.
After getting my luggage at 6 in the morning, I made my way to the train station. And oh boy was that chaos. The security check line was so god damn long. Not to mention slow. And the worst part was everyone pushing to make it past the line faster.
After I passed the check line. I went up to be really surprised. It was bigger than the damn main airport terminal of my country (zagreb). And quite busy. Finding my train gate was surprisingly easy . All I had to do now was wait... for 3 hours <.<
The people came and went. And I stayed and watched them go.
The fast train was more comftorable than the plain. 2 hours of chill (i cry how backwater croatia is).
And I arrived to Zibo. Was welcomed by a girl who looks japanese, and a guy who I swear looks 25. Yet he is 30 something. Ill never get used to it.

Thank you for suffering with me.
I will write more tomorrow maybe.
