First day consist mostly of the flight mostly and arriving at my grandmother’s place.
We left on a Airbus 340, the older but smaller brother of the new 380, lets just say the in flight entertainment is a little dated, actually the same as the ones i used the flight back last year. about 20 channels and the videos are on a loop, with no pause in the movie, there are no games of any sort. I watched Twilight and The day the earth stood still, I had some noise canceling headphones with me so it was bearable but I still slept for around 6 hours on the way there.
The food was actually okay and tasty for heated up meals. Better than most microwave meals you get in supermarkets anyway, meats are chunky and even the bread were warm.
My Gran’s place, located at the boarder crossing between Hong Kong and China, which you need a permit to get into. It is way out of the way and there are NO Westerners there, ever, due to the permit needed. It’s not a tourist destination for westerners, there are some locals from the region that goes near there to see the checkpoints; curiosity being the only reason i can think of, it’s just a few policeman sitting on a stool waving you pass, they just glance as it as you walk by.
