airport troubles

there was supposed to be a going-home jam on the way to the airport today, due to it being chinese new year eve, so i decided to play safe and boarded the 1:35pm bus to the CKS intl airport. should be plenty of time before my planeride at 6:25pm.

but no! apparently the denizens of taipei did their travelling at an earlier time because there was no traffic on the road AT ALL! huzzah. and so i was at the airport at 2:35pm. which suited me fine, because i planned to plonk myself infront of an internet cafe and blast alliances in alterac valley.

alas. the checkin counter didnt open until 4:35pm so in the meantime i am blessed with the enormous task of lugging around my very heavy luggage (the result of not going home for a year). and i couldnt visit the cafe because it was inside the boarding area.

my mom suggested that i visit terminal 2. and so i did. but for some strange reason, they didnt allow luggage carts on the shuttletram! god forbid i had to park the damn contraption outside the entrance and manually lug my luggage onboard and off. jesus.

after alot of searching, i managed to find the equivalent of seven eleven. ah. i thought. cheap snacks and drinks. but alas. the elevator operates only on B1 and 1, and the convenient store was conveniently located on B2 (for your health, i presume). and the thought of carrying my luggage down and up was unbearable. so once again, vicky trampled on.

soon after, i thought to answer the titillating call of nature... and found out that my goddamn pushcart COULDNT GET OVER THE EFFING METAL RAMP. and i simply couldnt leave my valuables outside. so nyet. i had to go back to terminal one to pee.

now if you would excuse me, i have to visit the loo.

wish me luck.
