Today is the big day! The day I finally make it to mainland China!
I left my hotel room in Macau an hour later than I had wanted to because I was playing on the internet. Stupid.
I took the free hotel shuttle to the Macau Ferry Terminal and caught the 12:30 ferry to the Shenzhen airport. Or so I thought I did.
The trip was pretty simple. There is a monitor at the ferry terminal that shows gate numbers in English. You simply go to your gate and wait for the pairing of someone barking in Chinese, with everyone getting up. That is your cue that it is time to board the ferry. Easy!
Since Macau isn’t part of mainland China, they have a duty free shop inside. I stocked up on cigarettes (I know, gross, right??)
The ferry to Shenzhen was way less crowded than the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau. There was no assigned seating. I got my own row, so I got see the window view!
