Arrived ok. Filling in cards to enter china super easy. Unfortunately had to collect our baggage as they wouldn't transfer to the next flight. But that's ok we getting picked up by the hotel. (Ben manages a way to contact the hotel and what seems to be forever later we do get picked up and taken to the hotel) Next part not so easy...... As we arrived earlier in the day than expected we decided to find something to eat. However....China only seems to use cash and Ali pay. This is a problem as non of us have either. After walking up & down the same street, backwards n forwards, dad gives up n goes back to the hotel. We try another time before giving up and joining man n dad raiding their airplane snacks for dinner. After much googling and praying that I didn't reach up tons of charges on my SIM card. Manage to get Alipay working. We are ready for the way back now.....or so I thought.
