Last Friday, Jordan and I were going to dinner with some new friends, Rosemary and Bruce. They’re another married couple from the program, who’ve been here for three years now. We grabbed a cab and I was really excited because it was the first woman cab driver I’d ridden with (it’s the little things that I get excited about obviously). The four of us had just gotten into a cab and were about halfway there when the cab driver pulls over. She had noticed something wrong and of course, we have a flat tire. So we pay her and were about to leave when Jordan looks at her and asked her if she needed any help. You could tell she was relieved when he asked her and at the same time a little confused. And so the 15 minute cab ride to dinner was suddenly stalled. Jordan and Bruce began to help this little lady change the tire. It was quite the experience to say the least. Rosemary and I just held the guys things and took a few pictures to remember this great event while sharing our frustrations and joys about China. So here we are on the side of an eight lane highway in China changing (or watching them change) a tire. The guys got the tire changed with minor/temporary setbacks. After they finished, she insisted on taking us to the restaurant (for free). It was an interesting, yet fun start to another Friday night in Shenzhen.
*In the first picture, Jordan has taken off his Polo (no, he doesn't just wear an undershirt...=) )and is getting everything out of his pockets. Picture 2, he's trying to figure out where to put the thing to raise the wheel (as you can tell, I know A LOT about cars...haha!) Picture 3, You can see the back of Bruce and Jordan's face as he's trying to loosen the bolt? I think that's the wrong term again... and the last picture is the finished product! =)
