I am new at this and hope I can get better at it so all you Tech experts out
there be kind to me. We are having an adventure here for sure. China has given
us some surprises. We have surprised ourselves as well. Transportation has been
a real hoot. We travel by Metro or subway, bus, taxis and by foot. Mostly it has
been easy to navigate around using the metro maps but the buses require more
effort. There is no written schedule to follow. The locals call a number and
tell the operator where they are and where they want to go and they tell them
what buses to take. That is hard to do since we don’t speak the language yet.
But what fun! A bus ride is somewhat like a rolleroaster ride. It pitches,
plunges, surges and rocks so you better hang on or land on the floor. I prefer
the Metro. It is clean and easy to ride. Except at rush hour. Then the object of
the game is how many people can you fit in a square foot area and still be able
to breath. We have twice been on the Metro at rush hour and it is a hoot! I
can’t help but giggle at the situation which creates more stares and a few even
have laughed with me. Oh well…the saying here is “Welcome to China!”.
I unfortunatly lost my camera. So as soon as I
get a new one I can add new pictures to the blog. I had a collection of pics on
my camera of squat toilets. Can you imagine what the new owners of my camera
must be thinking when they reviewed my pictures! Take care and come visit
again!
Love and hugs…..John and Cindy
