10th. I fly like paper, get high like planes. Flight count: 3. Insect bite count: 5.

There were some interesting experiences today. Firstly, my flight didn't leave from Beijing capital airport but some undermanaged shitty one, kinda like London Luton. The bus we took didn't actually go to the airport, so had to try get a taxi in. However, there was one detail that we did not know.. which was that getting into the airport via taxi is EFFORT, like mega. Cos it's hard to get it in and taxi drivers don't like taking you there. So whilst we were trying to get a taxi, a private car stopped and asked where we were going, and agreed to take us. So here, I thought that we were hitch hiking to the airport... but no, the woman asked for a small fee. As far a getting "private taxis" is concerned, this was definitely a first. And a rather pleasant experience at that. I'm writing this at the airport now, as my fight is delayed by an hour or two, and accidentally tried to connect to someone else's computer via wireless.. lols.

~Later~
The flight was mostly okay, I got an aisle seat :D But when we were flying over Chengdu I wish that I was next to a window as the night lights were amazing and I wanted to take some pictures:( The food on the flight was pretty shitty.. each item got worse that the next.

I was a bit scared when I got to the airport, as I knew no one.. and had to queue for a taxi, and worried that the driver wouldn't know where to go etc etc, but I got to the place fine. First couchsurfing experience! The couple I am staying with are lovely and their apartment is brand new and stuff. Plus I get my own room! So, a bit iffy on the couch side but I'm not complaining :P They also have an adorable kitty. It's sleeping on the floor right now, it looks so peaceful and awwweh! Gotta get up and leave early tomorrow as the tour group is meeting at the airport at 8am.. Makes for fun times ~_~
I have found that I fall asleep wayyy too easily. And I wake up wayy to easily also. Arghh.

Adventure begins tomorrow!
