Sichuan Day 1 : Hong Kong-Chengdu (E)
I flew from Hong Kong to Chengdu and took an airport bus to the city. It was hard to get a taxi and I was stuck on the street for a while. I finally got on the taxi and checked in in my hostel- Traffic Inn. The staff were nice and the rooms were clean and tidy. However, they could not really answer my questions about my travel plan in Sichuan as they have not been a lot of those places. They did not know the connection of the buses and so on, but they are willing to help.

After settling down at the hostel, I got the SMS of Emily (my secondary schoolmate) who happened to be in Chengdu with my another friend- Sue (my university schoolmate). So, we went to have the super famous Sichuan hotpot with their co-workers.
As usual I could not take any spicy food, so I mostly took those food from the outer ring. The inner bloody red circle looked very scary, but I tried a bit anyway. It is something you must do in Sichuan. Right?
When I walked by other tables, they all have the red one in the outer ring, my god!!!
Thanks Emily and Sue for buying me this as my birthday dinner. You are so sweet!!!!
