I didn't know my little 2hour exploration in the Xiamen (Amoy), city of China can be this interesting. The first mall I went to is Walmart! The second shop I visited was Watson in another mall. LOL China is really modern. A new phone that comes with sim card cost only RMB270. Got myself a hot water bag for only RMB17. Shoes in the mall are only RMB69. I should have brought less clothes to save space!! ARRGGH
The most interesting part is , I thought they had MRT (train/subway). So I went to the supposed "train station" that looked almost the same back home. Then when I got onto the platform I was shocked. There were no tracks but roads. Then after a really short while, the BUS came. My goodness they specially built these long line of roads for these what they call express buses. It did look very much like those electric train tracks from below.
I wanna get back to my room before the sun comes down so I took the Express bus back again. Anyway its only one stop away and it takes less than 2 minutes. When I arrived at the stop, the driver didn't open the door. Then suddenly he speed up and break! I flew 2 meters inside the bus!! The wonderful people in the bus quickly help me up, I thank them quickly and got off.
Now my body is aching from the bad fall and now also I know why I got the hot water bag from Walmart in the first place.
