Going To Bangkok

Confucious says – “Man who walk through airport turnstile backward going to Bangkok.”
I had an eventful journey from Hong Kong to Bangkok in Thailand which included :-
- Weakling me had to carry this 20kg suitcase down a big flight of stairs. As I walked towards the taxi stand, I realised the suitcase wheels were faulty, so I had to carry the suitcase up the stairs, back to the flat and quickly repack before dragging another 20kg suitcase down the stairs again. All this in the hot humid Hong Kong weather was no fun!
- I managed to get on the bus to the airport, but I was really worried that I wouldn’t make in time to check-in. Yeah, I was so worried that I didn’t get off at my stop!!
- As a result of my stupidity of forgetting to get off my stop, I had to carry the 20kg suitcase up the biggest flight of stairs onto a bridge which connected to the airport. I run across this bridge and into the airport to the check-in desk…only to discover that my flight had been rescheduled to 2 hours later…(all that rushing about for nothing!)
- Thinking I had lots of free time, I took a big rest after all that running about. I, then line up for my departure gate, get to the front of the queue, but only to discover I was queueing at the wrong gate!!! Flight was going to MUMBAI, via Bangkok!
- Hong Kong people are rather unfriendly so the air attendant person shooed me away, without helping me! I had to run from Gate 1 to Gate 20; I was so worried I had missed my flight (I have missed a flight before…!!) but the plane hadn’t even arrived yet…phew! Blister formation showed how fast I was running!!!
- Finally, I arrive in Bangkok 2.5 hours later than planned, got to my hotel…only to be conned by the taxi driver. He wouldn’t let me out off his taxi until I paid a higher price than we originally agreed on.
In conclusion : These things only happen to me!
