Due to my visa restriction, I needed to fly out from Manchester today. And today marked the first day of my Europe backpacking trip...
It was a very long journey (yes, it took me more than an hour to check-in) from Manchester to Bordeaux (southern France). When I reached there eventually, I was informed that the hotel I booked was closed.
God is good! I managed to check myself into a 2 star hotel that was not far from the one I booked... and the owner was able to speak English... That was really a great blessing...
I spent the rest of the day in exploring the town, and reserved a bed in a night train from Toulouse to Nice on the night of 3rd of January...
I thank God for the ticketing machine that I could check for train information in English... When I stepped to the counter to reserve for a bed in the night train, I discovered that the staff can hardly speak any English. I finally managed to book my ticket through various communication method...
I praise God for the way He creates us. Although not everyone speak the same language, we can still communicate through sign language...
Rather than joining other people in counting down, I rested in my room and recovered from the sleepy I got from not sleeping the night before... with counting down for New Year 2007 in front of a television set...
