| Last night we caught a sleeper bus to Ghuangzhou, and then a hydrofoil
to Hong Kong. We almost didn't make it, since the bus broke down around
3:00 am. At first we thought it was just a flat, but engine parts lining
the road showed it was more serious (our bus driver, Mr Personality, wasn't
saying much). To the driver's credit, he fixed the engine (leaving a pile
of parts behind). We would have been more concerned if we knew what we
were carrying on the bus roof. When we arrived in Ghuangzhou, the bus
made a detour to the docks, where Mr Personality unloaded bags of snakes
and crates of rats from overhead. I almost got a bag of snakes dropped
on my head while I looked around to see what was happening! |
