Arrival in Hangzhou

A quick update!

We are in Hangzhou. Interestingly, The shuttle bus taking us from the flight gate to our plane rammed into some cargo vehicle and we had to swap to another shuttle. It wasn't bad though and no one was injured as the bus was on low speed. On the same flight as us was a celebrity host who has her own talkshow and a book. We didn't noticed her until 2 airport staff went to get her signature, followed by a swarm of Chinese travellers jostling to catch a glimpse, photos and more signatures... Right now, we still don't know her name. She juz bears a resemblance to Sun Yan Zi in terms of frame and hair.

Our flight was scheduled for 805pm but due to an overload in the number of flights leaving Chengdu, we took off only around 1015pm. During that time, we were stuck on the plane for an additional 2 hours. Arrival at our inn, Tour An Backpacker's Hostel, was approximately 215am and the taxi got lost trying to find this place. Pretty modern decor this place has. Will be having to seek a new lodging place today as Tour An hostel is fully booked today. We had only booked for a day. After this we should be grabbing a bicycle and roaming around the key attraction, Xi Hu (Western Lake).

Catch us again later.
