After I had no slept well all night, because of aafraid of waking up early going to airport, I was sleeping in the taxi when I arrived at the terminal 2 of Sutta Airport. It was 6.00 a.m when I entererd the departure hall and waiting for checking in. The counter of China Southern opened at 7.00 a.m when I was standing as the secong person in the queue of the checking counter. There were many peaple who most of them Chunese and spoke Chinese. I got number 50K seat as I reserved ticket through Raptim Tour. After getting the boarding pass and immigration inspction, I entered the departure area. The first doing was loking for money changer to change my rupiah to dollar or yuan. I decided to change money into dollar, because I thought it would be easy whether changing into yuan in Guangzhou or saving it. I thought that it was more expensive to by dollar comparing with buying in money chaner in Jakarta. It was true, I had to pay 13830 rupiah for 1 dollar, and if I had changed it in Jakarta, I would have payed only 13330 rupiah.

According to the boarding pass, the boarding time was 08.35 a.m, and I thought that I could enter the D4 gate at about 07.30. When I come to the D4 gate, it was closed and no one of the attendance was there. Before entering D4 gate, I bought a bottle of minaral water to prapare having water in flight or first arrival in Guangzhou. Remembering my first trip to China two years ago, I was very thirsty without having some water. I met a coupple beside my seat during my flight. They were from Ganada going to Beijing spending their vacation. The lady was about 50 years and her husband was about 60 years old. She said that she was a theacher in elemantary school abd her husband was teaching in high school. I saw that they were vary happy, although they did not have any kid. We talked so much during we were in the plane. I felt sleepy, so wake up when the plane was landing in Baijun Airport Guangzhou.

I arrived in Guangzhou at 02.00 pm, and the time in Guangzhou shew 03.00 pm, because the Beijing time was one hour before Jakarta time. It was so far walking to find the Gate A7 that people tok taxi for transportation. There were many taxi, and it was easy to get one after queueing. Again, remembering to my experience coming the first time to China. There were few taxi drivers who could speak English. My Chinese friends recommended me to show the hotal name and map in Chinese. So it was no problem when I shew the name of Guangdong Hotel and map, that I got from Booking.com when I made hotel reservation, trowsed in the to the taxi driver. Before I went to Guangzhou, I had found the location of Guangdong Hotel, that it was located not far from Beijing Road where I spent some days two years ago, through internet browsing. The taxi cost 133 RMB, consisted of 118 RMB for taxi fare and 15 RMB for toll fare. It was more expensive 32 RMB than I payed from the airport to Lido Hotel, where Lido Hotel was nearer to Guangdong Hotel.

Guangdong Hotel was four stars hotel, and it was one of the good hotels in Guangzhou. The accomodatios of the hotel was satisfy. I was always insists on good accomodations while attending conference, especially capability in using internet through WIFI. My room number was 814 at the 8th floor, providing two beds, Television and WIFI access..
