Ways of getting to China...

Ways to get from Hong Kong to beautiful Shenzen China. (Snicker..)

Drive through the border; stop once to go through Chinese customs, arrive 60 minutes later at destination

Go on train to border move through border and through customs, arrive in about 1.5 hrs after getting picked up at Chinese border.

decide to go on bus. try to find the bus stop and fail. find a new bus line that 'gets us close' to where we need to go in china. get to border. go through border, then get on a new bus. go ride to the china border control. go through customs without too much hassle. wait for bus to come. Realize that bus is not coming, talk with bus company some more and realize that people get on 'new buses' since the drivers keep going w/o waiting for you. keep waiting and collecting unfortunates which have the same problem. At this point call the drivers which we know and get them at the destination which we expect to get to. Put all annoyed people on a new bus. Start driving around in Shenzen and find out that the 'driver' does not actually know the way, and that at various points he needs to stop, ask directions, fill up the bus's diesel tank, and generally makes a poor showing for the company. Get to the destination which we wanted to get to after 2 hours. The drivers have been waiting for 2 hours, and are cranky. Drive to final destination, at speeds well over the speed limit, getting there in 20 minutes. Total trip time; 5.5 hours

I pick the top two over the last option. However the last option was somewhat interesting, and required some intestinal fortitude. Other people might disagree.

Sorry for the double post but my language was in Chinese and I hit publish instead of save as draft. This might be posted again later.
