Time: Sat & Sun

Place: Hankou around

Figure: Ma wife and me

Incident: try to find something we’d like to buy for our apt.

weather: extremely hot with up to 50 deg ground temp, rare wind glaring sunlight and choking moisture

Result: two cute lamps for two bedrooms, one ugly ceiling lamp for reading room or abandon it to balcony, the most heavy staff : switches and sockets

Course:

  Sat morning, got up early on 8 am, took 801 ahead of my apt. just for signing for delivery of changed wallpapers, no brekker yet, then, waiting, waiting for nothing, the damn wallpaper worker seemed to find some fun from mu on purpose, change the schedule as they want, for about 4 times within 2 meaningless hour for me, and of course I was in rage completely, shouted on the phone, like"if  u can’t give me a satisfied schedule now, I’ll get urs now and kick ur ass", wow, whatever, it works

  afternoon, met my wife first in the lamp market, and for sure, by that time both of us already wore out with heavily sweaty body, and what’s worse is that there was no air-conditioning inside the market , damn it!  floor 1, floor 2 and floor 3, one shop by one shop, sweat kept dropping and found nothing good stuff, being through 3 hrs walking and looking, I decided just buy something regardless how it’s like, holding this principle, finally I got three lamps, all is ceiling one, and two of them are for bedrooms and one for uncertainty , got out of damn market, we tried to find a taxi home, very bad luck, the cab drivers dislike money during that time, 100% of cab refused to take us, I just have one word for them, fuck u all!  This tragedy recalled me one thing, before, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, there was one unique transportation stuff called "ma mu", just moto-bike like, and it’s cheap, it’s convenient, and most of all they rarely refused customers especially for really urgent cases, but they were dismissed, just cuz’ they looks not so good for this city’s appearance, seems they did a bod reputation for the local govt. To be general, this sort of thing is happening everyday through this big country, the "administrators" never works for our citizens, but for themselves, for their promotions, for these I just have the same word "fuck you all, one day all of you will be sentenced, just wait"

  a little deviation, above is the summary of Sat. on Sunday, next comes Sunday

  on Sun, same story   differences are waiting for gluing wallpaper before 1pm, and went to shop switches and sockets around 3 pm, lucky for my wife and me is this time there’s very good air-conditioning by then I had once a thought that stay there for ever and never came out. OK, straight for results, spent 1700 rmb for simon switches, and no good lamps we like for living room. all right, packaging all the products which is weighted almost 0.5 Kg, with them walking almost 1 km to get the tram home, of course, under the giant Sun.

  one thing came to my mind, I almost forgot it, on Sat evening, when I was on the 801 bus for home, there was one grand traffic jam stopping me, for at least 2 hrs, the reason is only a little conflict, may be light car crash or something like that, I took pics for them, cuz’ I never saw that sort of scene, nearly hundreds of people gathered around the cross-road section, the pity cars can not moving one inch, dozens of traffic polices came to solve problem but seems be in vain. around 10 pm, after 2 hrs stuck, the police broke the barriers on the middle of road to let the blocked cars convert the direction and change another way to go, thanks to this police I could get home half hour later. yup, I was really regretful didn’t go to the part for the french people, if knowing before, it could be never for me to sleep on the bus hopelessly.

  last, say goodbye to Ms bai, Bon voyages!
