Day 5 - Traveling to China

We spent the morning at the Hong Kong Cultural Center checking out the Art Museum. Basically we were killing the morning since our flight didn't leave until 5pm. We decided to leave for the train station at 1pm and were surprised at the train station. They have something called "in-town" checkin. Instead of lugging your bags on the train and checking in at the airport, most airlines (at least ours) will check your bags are the train station just like at the airport. So we checked in and got boarding passes. When we got to airport it was no sweat. This afternoon/evening we flew to Changsha. It was dark when we arrived so I couldn't see that much. But I can hear car horns repeatedly and were on the 30th floor. It funny, we were on the 3rd floor in Hong Kong and never heard a horn (and Hong Kong was busier). The word from our guide is that tomorrow is THE BIG DAY at about 10:00am. We are to met her at 9:40am so I'm guessing were driving to someplace nearby. So far there is more English here in China than I expected. The airport was pretty easy and some signs are bi-lingual. We joked that if Hong Kong was about the size of JFK, then Changshas airport was about the size of Westchester Airport - that might have been because we were at the International part of the airport which is completely seperate from the domestic.
