CTS Tickets

I spent the morning cleaning, sweeping and mopping. The mop broke with one twist so I actually had to use my hand. That's find places in HK are really small anyways. I put together a basica shopping list and met up with Ada after she was done work at her school. She's been setting up for her book exhibition. We ended up at Justco $10 store and I bought some sponges and sort of a clothing storage bag that I can pack in my suitcase or take with me on trips. We walked across to the Wellcome and I bought a mop head and some dish washing detergent.

Next stop was to China Travel Tours Transportation Services, basically a travel agent, so that I can get my bus ticket. The deal is pretty good $170 HKD if I buy the return ticket as well (if not it is $100 HKD both ways). I knew my dates, the main problem is they want the location as well. I had looked up the location of a hostel previously. The price I was quoted was totally different than the price that was quoted to Ada when I had her call about the location. We got a rough location and tried to find a place that was close to the subway. We ended up selecting Jinan University as my drop off point and China Hotel as my pickup for my return on Sunday. The ticket was bought and Ada tried to help me find some information online about getting to the location. After she left I just cooked a basic meal for myself and started my packing. Everyone is getting me ready for GuangZhou. I know people will steal from me no matter how careful I am, and if anyways says anything about it, they'll get a beating. Some how it sounds like the whole city is made up of thieves. I guess it is better that I go in not trusting anyone.
