Crowds are something special...

So the past two days i've been on subways, busses and cabs, and guess what they all have been crowded. I thought when i heard that the busses were crowded i never thought as crowded as here. Getting onto the busses and sub ways, at rush hour is just a pointless mess trying to get through. First off, lets just say if u haven't seen it look up Japanese pusher on the you tube, and that's basically what i kinda felt like...

Ok well not exactly but close enough, I def got very close to some chinese people and the other people on the trip from school. As we see the train or bus come up we cross our fingers, please let it not be so packed and please don't let all these people be getting on the same bus. Of course they do, but every-time i don't see it as a bad thing, it's an experience. I do have to say that i'm getting used to the smell and the closeness of people than i usually am. One thing about the bus and subways when they are packed is they get a little warm, plus it's been in the 60-70's the past few days so, it's made it even hotter, so.

Classes are going well, def helpful and practical for our chinese class, our teacher is just teaching us some practical stuff so we can buy and barter, and be able to get around and home from when we are out. So far I have enjoyed myself, and this is def, and interesting experience. I haven't bought a lot from the markets, but i plan to get some stuff and a second bag for the trip home, so that i can bring everything back that i'll need. Other than that, that's all for now, experience everything, and soak it all in is what i've been told before going on this trip, and well that's what i'm doing so, until next time, keep on living.
