you have two new mails
The first is from a friend in Canada, telling a miserable story that happended to her at the Pudong International Airport Shanghai last month when she and her family were to fly to HongKong. She was told her name was on the list; however the right ticket was not there, instead, a ticket from Canada to Beijing was. It was the flight they took to Beijing two weeks before. The airport staff politely rejected her any explanation; besides, she couldn't provide evience for that. After many unsuccessful tries with airliners and ticket agent in Canada, she just got to spend money and then take a new ticket to HongKong with her mom and aunt.
Days after they return to Canada, she became sick seriously; she believed it must have some wrong food she took in China or Hongkong. Scared by suck a big dosage of antibiotics in her entire life, she said she once was afraid she could be dying. Of couse she isn't. She recovered a bitter week later.
From her story, I once again tell myself: if I travel to a foreign coutry, like the incoming tour to Nepal or Myarmar, I will be very careful with my tickets and reconfirm, reconfirm and reconfirm. And besides, I will be as careful as possible with the food and drink there. Usually I am pretty O.K. in this aspect, for I take mostly Coke and deepfried food,especially in the first couple days when I am there. These are really safe, although not so healthy at first thought.
The second is fron a ticket agent, or the general exclusive agent for Royal Nepal Airliner. It's a notorious air company,but after compared to other flights, they fly directly between Shanghai and Kathmandu. The quote a fare as 4500 for return ticket, although the flight time available now is Jan 25 departure-Feb 11 return. It of course doesn't match my plan. Maybe I will go earlier or later?
Actually I am waiting for mail from Well, who says he is also intersted in visiting Nepal in Jan. There are no reply for my mails, how busy on earth is he now?
