I got hit by a bike (again)

Story is - two years ago, as the teacher stated "You do not have right of way here, make sure you watch where you are going," - I replied "I'm pretty sure if we cross as a group we will not get hit" - as those words left my mouth - A bike hit my leg - okay - mental note - watch where I am going.

Goal for this China trip was to NOT get hit by a bike - I failed my goal. It was early in the morning, I was following a random girl and all of a sudden - Bang! A handle bar hit my arm and the guy struggled to regain his balance as I was in shock. I turned around and saw that he was still disoriented - and now being a true Beijinger - I shrugged my shoulders and walked on. In Canada I would usually see if he was okay - but when in China - be as rude as they are ;)

AND then!!! I had the funnest bus ride ever! The bus driver had diarrhea - he stopped the bus and ran away. He came back after a couple of minutes - and then the gong show began. Picture a bus full of people - literally back to back - one of those you don't even need to hold anything because other people are holding you up - THIS bus, is speeding down the street because we are late. It stops to let people off, let people on, and then the ticket lady at the back of the bus shouts " go! go! go!" - this happens for three stops - the most comical bus ride I had EVER had!

This was followed by a meeting that we had where a Chinese girl and I (mostly the chinese girl) tried to sell AIESEC to the company. I loved this because it was motivational to see someone to market so well for her first marketing call. I could not ask for a better person to meet with - the guy was genuine and nice!
