So! I probably got ripped off on the taxi to the airport (he said meter, I asked for an approximate price, he showed me a card that said 380 RMB. I had just exchanged 40$ and gotten about 275 RMB back, so I was like.. what! Too much! Forget it.. I got him down to 250, but seriously.. that’s pretty expensive for 30km, IMHO!), but I got to the hostel, the
Near East Hostel Add: No.98 TieShuXieJie XuanWu District.
Unfortunately I had (almost) no cash to pay him or the key deposit, but he took American Express (The new card I’m trying out, has a lower foreign currency penalty/fee), so it was alright. Now I need cash so I can get breakfast though! :) And I didn’t pick up my next ticket when I was at the airport, I was so distracted by the taxi drivers, they worked a spell on me, methinks..
I thought it was kind of funny, when I was filling out my paperwork, I just wrote
6/6/6 for the date on everything. I mean, you know, that doesn’t really happen.. it’s like, been a whole century since anyone might have done that! We’re 15 hours ahead, if you’re curious. I’m going to visit Ryan Townsend when I get to X’ian, we were in the CCC together. Uhh.. all for now, hasta luego! -@
