What a day! - Nanning

Shit thing is always happen...Couple hours become couple a days...

What a day! We are really lost! Completely lost our mind... Its annoying but also funny 'coz its silly...hahaha

 NANNING

A little bit history about Nanning... So Nanning is the capital of GuangXi Zhuang Autonomous region in south-west China. Modern city and transport gateway for all traveler to Vietnam by land. That's the reason why we going to Nanning, to catch the sleeper train to Vietnam (in Indonesia don't have sleeper train, so exited about this...)

I already set up that we will in there until afternoon, wait until the train go. I was check the train schedule on web (www.seat61.com), and say the train to Vietnam at 6 pm. So we arrived in Langdong bus station Nanning at 3 o’clock and we still need take another bus to the train station. Funny story is when we are at bus station and we don't know what number bus to the train station so I ask to the information "hello, can you speak English" but then the lady looks confused and say "wait for a while please..." and she using a walkie talkie calling her friend but its take so long and we don't have much time so I start drawing a train station and show to them... loll they know with what I mean but she don't know how to explain to us until her friend come and he explain to us where we should go and what number of bus that we should take... Its so funny... loll

I can say public transportation in China like bus is really helpful, clean and safe for traveler who don't understand mandarin language also the ticket is cheap between 1 until 2 RMB.

On the way to train station I realize that we don’t have time to see this town coz we are late, I’m worry but try to be cool hahahha..

Extend, day 1

When we’re arrived at train station, I saw long queue in front of the counters... Oh GOSH! They have more than 20 counters and all full with peoples...well coz it’s summer! Everybody go to holiday! Darn it! I wishing that we don’t run out the ticket... So I asked the staff where the counter who sell ticket to Vietnam, and I'm very glad the staff pointed to the less queue counter 16, fiiuuh we still have time...

“two ticket to Hanoi-Vietnam, please” and the counter girl looks confused how to answer in English (again!), my English is not good enough too so I tried to understand what she say and then I say “Whaaaatt??? Seriously???” *red face* speechless...

"Sorry, ticket to Vietnam is sold out for today..."

I back to the stairs, languid and say to Monkey that “the ticket was sold out...”.  So we don't have any option we need to find a hotel for sleep and shower, we are smell and tired... We looking a hotel near train station just in case we wake up late so we don’t have to hurry. We stay at Ying Bin Hotel, its right away front cross the railways, old hotel, clean room and bathroom but no WiFi, the price is 100 RMB per night. So the good news is we have a lots time to looking around the city, all night until the sun is rise up...

At night we go take a dinner, we walking to the Chaoyang road and Zhongshan Road. Chaoyang Rd. is the main shopping lined department store, local and international store. And also the place for people to hang out young and old people come to here, the light from stores and big screen its make this street flooded with the tourist. wheres people come around to hang out and I don’t know whats the name. Zhongshan Rd. is Nanning's food street from budget until splurge. At night you will find a night food market and find various exotic dishes ready to be reserved. And monkey trying a DURIAN fruit for the first time hahaha and of course I know he'll not like it... he say the taste like a baby diaper... ooo so monkey have been try the baby diaper... :P

Chaoyang Rd

Extend, day 2...
As like I thought before that we're late to wake up, prepare our self, check out from hotel then go to railways station. And as usual people already make a line at there. Double shit! its a lunch hour so the staff take a break... I don't know what wrong with that day I'm upset with monkey, he's like don't want cooperated, I say wait in here until the they back operated but he want go walking around. So we separated, I stay coz don't want run out the ticket like yesterday and monkey go to nowhere.

Even for one day I still want to go to Da Nang like my plan so I really hope I get the ticket and go with or without monkey. Ten minute after they operated again I still wait until monkey come then he came in last minute and he go to inside to buy the ticket but then he back fast and say "sold out". I'm very upset and go to the counter and asking again but they say "sorry, we don't have ticket for today" Shit! now its definitely I can't go to Da Nang. No way we go to there by plane my money not enough. I back to the counter again and asking what time you sold the ticket for tomorrow and she say "right now, we sold ticket to Vietnam for tomorrow"... I give her a straight face say in my heart "fucking bitch, why you didn't tell me yesterday!!!! damn it!" and still with the straight face and a little bit awkward smile i say "two ticket please..." Then I'm thinking whose false is this? ME or that staff??? well for sure is the language 'coz make us LOST... haha...
