Hello from a Venezuelan to everybody else that is not in Shanghai! So, I few updates:
- My airline lost both of my luggage
- They made me miss my connection
- I had to get into my dorm by my self
Between other stuff…. So I am very negative right now, maybe all day bad mood and frankly I want to get home already, maybe I wish I can get deported some time but I am a pretty well-behaved person unfortunately in my case lol. Please the first thing you do about booking a flight to China: DO NOT, I repeat: DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM AMERICAN AIRLINES. They delay my fights so much from the beginning that and I arrive in Shanghai TWO days later. I miss my orientation tour, orientation for my school and the free pick up to the airport. Not only they did that but when I arrive, they lost both of my luggage! And they frankly don’t have any idea they may have it. I am surviving with a travel kit of primary needs and three underwear and four change of clothes which is not easy because I am a girl! I am used to using and changing way more products and clothes that I am right now. On top of that, I have to do classes, exams, learn by myself and od by myself everything that everyone was assisted within orientation, etc. I had to pay about $80 USA dollars to get myself into the dorm when I arrive, money in which they already said they are not giving back. Right now, everything is just ugh. Not having fun like my classmates, not being impressed by the culture and I cannot be excited by begging here just because of all this. I have to be up until really late so I can fight with the airline and then have class really early in which I cannot pay attention at all. The only good thing I can be positive about is that my roommates are pretty nice and cool from different places, they are really helpful, and they try to distract me. Also, some street food is my comfort food right now and I just hope I can get it to fix very soon and I can start being part of this great experience that it has been presented to me. Send help or at least good vibes! Lol
