CHINA | Friday, 2 May 2014 | Views [232] | Scholarship Entry
Some dreams become reality, I bet every body in life have a desire to travel China once in a life time; of course most of us are big Bruce lee and Jackie Chan fans. At 2006 I had applied for my M.B.B.S course to China on self finance based, it was my first visit to any country all alone by my self, first time I felt I also have a wings to fly.Now my father let me scare of almost every things at airport, son don't be afraid of anti-narcotics, open your bag before they ask to & then go get your boarding pass tell them your final destination & then booked your luggage, while weighing for luggage again open your hand carry so they can see you just carrying your Medical books & allow you to carry it. Then you have to go through immigration, tell them you are a Doctor and going to study in China & don't talk with strangers, don't take any thing from any one, don't eat this and that and bla bla. Thanks to God with my B.P high I passed all stations smoothly and then wait for boarding I must say I did it better than any body else. My flight was connected, so I company with plane to Bangkok, get the boarding pass from there also , passed every thing smoothly again. But as soon as I entered in China with my immigration coupon filled, I feel nervous now, It seems that I get into a new world. Now every face seems like Bruce lee. I have to go through immigration again, they asked me wei shenma lei zhe li now this was my first time, I don't now Chinese and Officer don't know English to. He by action told me to get aside of line and wait. Ah it was embarrassing but I wait long & I saw 20 others faces similar to south Asian waiting behind me, I was feeling we all got the VIP treatment. Then a fat officer came out from his office, escort me into his office. With several other officer inside and they all started shenma shenma I swear I understood nothing, I told them not once but several time,''I am a student,came here to study''. And swear to God they also understand nothing. Then one Chinese officer with very much broken English asked me,''you one?''. I said (no) the all line behind me are with me, they understood (no) & rest I said in action. Then they took all the boys and girl out of line to interrogate further, thanks to God that one boy was carrying University office number & then they called and asked about us. After 3 hours of prolonged interrogation they let us go out-side of air-port. I took the sigh of relieve and feel free of my Father's airport curse.
