First Impression on "Snake Mouth" (SheKou, ShenZhen, China)

well... its my first trip to China and out of the places i go for my Service Support, this is the longest period i am assigned to. 37 days and counting down... gonna miss my life in Malaysia and of course, my darling... ;)



some details about my trip to this place, my flight was from KLIA to HKIA, yeah, to save cost i have to take the ferry from HKIA to SheKou Port. Didn't expect it was so convinient nowadays, i mean its convinient la, not that i have been here so many times, but what i heard is that last time, ppl have to take the train or the bus which is... troublesome.



Pb180193 << Clear sky, smooth flight, some delay at KLIA though. My luck in flying is that each time, there is a delay, worse was to Phillipines, 2.5 hours. The duration is 3 hours 40 minutes. Also, this time, the bread does not taste as good as those i eaten in the previous flights to other place... sigh!



                                                                              



         



                                                                            

























Pb180198 << in the ferry to SheKou. Just like what i saw in the hongkong movies. The journey only takes 30 minutes. Didnt get to take a photo at the arrival port where all the luggage is kept in a container, and the employees lift the container (4 of them each at one corner) just like those we saw in the movies where a great HERO of America is KIA... well, like a funeral if you can't imagine. hahahaha... ;)



Pb180196 << SheKou Port, the whether is at nite 17 degC and day time 22degC and its getting colder each day. The air is a little bit polluted here.



                                                                                                                         





When i reached SheKou Port, my colleague was waiting there for me. So, what i feel about the place? the first impression... Its looks like CHINA... hahahahaha. The people, the vehicles... exactly like those shown in Hong Kong dramas... hahahaha. Yeah, yeah, yeah... i know i am talking rubbish...



So, we went to take a taxi. Because the office is just 10minutes drive from the Port, this driver was so reluctant to take us there, but we are already in his cab. This is a shocking experience...



Taxi Driver: Where to?



My Colleague: SheKou Da Sia (Mandarin)



Taxi Driver: Where is that? (Pretending not knowing the place)



My Colleague: What do you mean "Where is that?" ( Already angry)



Taxi Driver: Yeah, WHERE IS THAT? ( Also angry and sacarstic)



My Colleague: SO, ARE YOU GOING OR NOT? ( Knowing this driver's trick to get us off, so he use the Who's Voice Louder trick) JUST GO, I SHOW YOU THE PLACE.



So, the taxi driver, reluctantly drive us to the SheKou Da Sia without my colleague direct him the way. I was thinking to myself... "Shit, are they going to fight?" hahahaha...



After the explaination from my colleague, in SheKou, the locals are like that. But also need to know the border line... ;) wondering whats the border line is? i also dont know, use your common sense.



Oklah... tired of typing already. Continue next day on others FIRST IMPRESSION...
