We Got Stuck In China.

Is it weird that I didn't blog yesterday?
I wanted to, I really did.
I just have this urge to write sometimes when stories need to be told, you know?
{What am I talking about, of course you know.}

In fact, I had this whole plan for "Monday's Post," in that I was going to share with you the wonderfulness of my last day in Thailand.
I wanted to talk about this ginormous water fight that took place in Bangkok.
It was packed. Packed, I tell you!
You couldn't step outside for more than a minute without being completely soaked.
Thousands of people armed with water guns, hoses, buckets, and water bottles, ready to spray you down all in good fun.
{Also a bunch of white, clay stuff that people would wipe on your face to say "good luck." <--?}
It. was. amazing.

^^^We got to spend the holiday with my college roomie, Jessica!^^^

And then of course, I wanted to tell you about my little mini meltdown in the hotel room that last night, crying to The Dizzle about how I was sad to leave Thailand.
I wanted to say that I was scared about the unknown.
I was sad that our Southeast Asia travels were over and that it meant "going home."
I was crying that this chapter of our lives was already coming to an end, when it felt like we had just left home yesterday.
Even though we still had Amsterdam and London to see, it still meant going back to The States was just a few short weeks away.
And it was also a reminder that I had no idea what I was going to do with my life.
Which, let's be honest, was one of the reasons I signed up for this whole "quit-my-life-to-travel-the-world" adventure.
I was hoping for that epiphany.
I was hoping for that answer on what I should do with my life.
And yet, there I was, leaving one of my favorite places on earth (Thailand, not Bangkok), and headed back to the place I sort of ran away from 6 months ago.

Anyway, I was totally going to go into detail on those things, but then getting stuck in China happened.
And well, I think I'd rather talk about that today, if you don't mind.
{If I don't document things here on this blog, I'll completely forget it all happened. For real.}

Here's the scoop in a nutshell.

We got to the Bangkok airport for our 7:45pm flight to Amsterdam, with a layover in Guangzhou, China on Sunday night.
They informed us that due to weather, we would not be able to leave Bangkok in time to catch our layover flight in China.
We waited...
And we waited...
And we waited some more....

This guy was not a happy camper, let me tell you.

Anyway, we then finally got on the plane to China, around 12:30am.
Once we got there, we waited around in a deserted airport as they were arranging free accommodations for us to stay for the night until 11:55pm the next night.

Are you still with me here?
Because I'm a "brownie" and 3 glasses of wine in and *I* can barely keep attention here.

ANYWAY.

They took us to this deserted hotel in Guangzhou, China and set us up in a room.
Then said they'd pick us up the next night at 9:00pm

We slept from 4am until 3:30pm that afternoon. {sleep is a fun pastime for us, did you know?}

Then they brought us our complimentary lunch: The Mystery Meat.

I can assure you that this was not eaten.

Blah, blah, blah, waiting, waiting, waiting, back to the airport to wait some more...

Annnnnddddd: We made it to Amsterdam.

Hallelujah and thank you sweet baby jesus!

V Dizz and I saw our mamas for the first time in 6 months and we. are. happy.

So happy that we had to sit in a giant shoe...

The End and thank you for listening.

I apologize if the ending to this post was sub-par, but it's high time I get back to the fam and mingle.
I think we're going to check out the Red Light District, too, because we're cool like that.
Holla.
