A Few years ago, I visited China for the first time. It was a long flight but the aircraft- China Southern airlines is probably the best I have ever used.
Food perfect, service - topnotch. After a long flight , finally landed at the airport, that was the beginning of wahala
From immigration to Airport shop, nobody could speak English. It was at the start of my love for travel, I was so pissed. How could nobody in a so-called superpower not understand English!
Watch me try to explain that I needed to get SIM card and load it
Trying to get the hotel was worse, I booked a hotel , but the address was written in English and Taxi driver couldn’t even understand what was written
Eventually found a guy who understood and told me I could take a train and exact stop plus the fact that the hotel wasn’t far
