So what could go wrong?

Well, apparently everything. It should not be that complicated to take a bus or keep track of your belongings. Well, does rules did not apply to the trip to Sanya. I have made a little list of what went wrong with our journey.

1.Our first Superstar, David, managed to miss the bus. This is his story.

After running through the entire Hong Kong to the bus station, we could not find our bus. After asking every chinese person in China, David trotted off without a working cellphone, towards the travel agents counter to ask where the fuck the bus was. We, who stayed behind, found that out in 2 minutes, when a stressed bus driver came and said he was in a hurry and had to be in an other part of Hong Kong right NOW! David is no where to be seen. Annika makes a heroic decisions, jumps out the bus, finds David, jump in to the cab and scream: FOLLOW THAT BUS!
Since the rule of this trip is that karma works in mysterious ways, they actually made it.

2. The next person to make this trip more memorable is DeliPierre.

After hopping on and off that bus of various reasons, we relized that the first bus we went on was no more, and we had to go on an other bus. Everybody sighed when we understood that we left our all food on the other bus. DeliPierre was the one most disappointed because he did not only leave is M&Ms, but also is cellphone.

3. Annika is the next one out.


At last, we came to Guangzhou, we had to take a cab from the bus stop to the train station. We got really excited when we actually found the station, the only thing we could not find was Annikas bag, which included her phone, her camera and her passport! Annika ran and cought up with the taxi, where all here things where.

4. And last up, is the collective decision to take a 15-hour train.


After running around, finding food - McDonalds - and something refreshing to drink- rice wine, we only had 20 minutes until our train left. Or so we thought. The train was 3 hours delayed. So we ate, and we drank.



But, what we did not do, was to go to the bath room at the station. We should have done that. Because on the train, we had two toilets to choose between. This is how they looked and that is just half as disgusting compared to how the smelled.


But somehow, we actually made it to Sanya, but apparently, so did Karma. To be continued.
