So after travelling for about 20 hours, my dad finally got to my neck of the woods. Normally I take a taxi from the airport and we just drive for a while, this time the driver decided to take a ferry- so my dad took probably every mode of transportation in the last day. The ferry is much faster, its only 10 minutes across the water and its a great view along the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang).
And this is our taxi driver, he is the craziest driver I have ever seen. Jingjing and I went by taxi to the airport and I asked her if she told him we were in a hurry and she responded negatively. He sped the entire way and if that weren't bad enough, he drove on the wrong side of the road even when cars were approaching. Then he would blow the other cars as if they were wrong; he crossed at merging sections, solid lines, double solids, he didn't care - he just had a need for speed. He was oblivious to the size of trucks and would bypass three trucks at a time, he was just a maniac--- but a pretty nice guy.
This is the taxi on the ferry
I danced with a group of older people and we were just having a ball!
Picture of the river lighted up at night
My dad and I were playing ping pong and I called over a student to challenge him; they were just smashing like crazy- all the students were grouped up watching
At night we went to a coffee house which is ridiculously expensive and the cost of a cup of tea is your lunch money for three days! :) It was well worth it though
In Chang Jiang Park, home of the second largest body of water (Yangtze River)
I seemed to have become fascinated with nature so it is imperative that we take this picture on a rock
My friend Yuan Mao came with us to the park
