caught a cab today - This isnt an unusual experience - its something that do often - from where i live (on campus) to downtown is about a 10 - 15 min cab ride - its often a bit of an adventure - i always carry a map with me 9the map is ofcourse in Mandain) - so i can point out exactly where - i want to go - The cab driver - looks at the map - and i look at his face, to make sure that he understands exactly where I want to go - (its always a guy) he then says either "ok" or "hudda" (Mandarin/Chinese for ok) then off we go......! Sometimes the driver may have a conversation with me - i actually dont understand alot of what he is saying (Chinese) but - i can understand some of it.Usually they ask where I am from - if im a teacher and how old i am.....! Usual cab driver talk.
