134: Changsha fly to Wuhan

If you have knowledge on China geography, you would wonder if there is something wrong in the title of this post.

Changsha and Wuhan are in fact very close to each other. Per our client in Changsha, there was a train from Changsha to Wuhan which only takes 2.5 hours, but I dunno why, our secretary has booked flight tickets for us. The flight tickets are not direct flight from Changsha to Wuhan. We have to fly from Changsha to Nanjing and then from Nanjing to Wuhan.

We left Changsha client office at 1:30pm and then after 2 flights and land transport, we finally arrived at the hotel in Wuhan at 10:30pm. A total of 9 hours were incurred, and we wasted 6.5 hours which we can use them for work or going outside. Really thanks for the secretary.

Although we arrived so late, we went out because we were very very hungry. Luckily a cafe nearly was still opened and we could have our dinner there at 11pm. In fact we have already eaten some noodles in the Nanjing airport during out 3 hours of waits inside the Nanjing airport. We had to wait for 3 hours after arrived at Nanjing for the flight to Wuhan and luckily there is a cafe which has free internet connection so that we could spend our time there.

But the food in this Nanjing airport cafe is very expensive. I ordered a simple beef noodles set (with no drinks but only have peanuts and other snacks which would make you very thirsty) and it costs RMB65!!! How can you imagine that a bowl of noodles can sell RMB65??? It is even more expensive than HK. But no other method, we have to choose it for having the internet connection and spend our time.

So, I highly recommend my friends tro remember the following 2 points:
1. There is 2.5 hours train from Changsha to Wuhan.
2. Nanjing airport food price is killing people, be prepared.
