Beauty of an old non-good "trip to the great wall" _

Foreigners in China produces of "culture conflict" (three) _____ a old beauty of non-normal "wall of line" Zhang Fang I to tells of is a series story, also called "culture conflict" story, but I to told of, or more accurate to says, is I select to quoted of, is not Chinese in foreign of "culture conflict" of embarrassing encounters, but foreigners were came to China Hou by by was of "culture conflict" of story. (the third story of the "cultural conflict" key: "on time" as the sole criterion, so that he shall suffer. In China, do anything to be plenty more time to play. Protagonist of this article called Jacqueline, Americans. ) I was too, too, and really enjoy visiting the great wall. However my trip to the great wall is started and ended. my travel arrangements are in Beijing for 3rd. The next day you should go to the great wall. But the train I fall, he had left. In fact, I just ran all the way to Beijing railway station is 11:30. The guard told me that "you can't go to the great wall. "Because the train is at 8 o'clock in the morning on a day off. In this way, I will just have to visit the great wall hard arranged on the third day of the calendar, and also had to have that evening back in Beijing, to ride again at 7 o'clock in the evening train to Shanghai. everything is arranged. So, I can also have the opportunity to call "Badaling" great places to play. It is said that the place has been completely re-artificially repairs. Alternatively, you can go to something called "Sima" places to visit. This is called "Sima" are, relatively speaking tourist resources has not been a lot of development and, therefore, eyes to see, are mountains and is a little bit to collapse of walls. After a week or so of tour of China's largest city, after you see used a lot of people, sounds, and subsequent "Sima" should be a good place to visit. problem is Tai far from Beijing. Small van, also requires at least three hours or so. That is to say, I have to get early Jinghua hotel, at 8 o'clock on time from there proceed towards the great wall, all goes well, 5:30 P.M. and then folded back there. Then, I have from Jinghua hotel and then return to their stay at the hotel, pick up things, then ran into the rush of traffic on, and ran towards the train station, and must be boarded before 7 o'clock train bound for Shanghai. And with me in a hotel of France the woman told me that she came here have missed the train to Inner Mongolia. Americans give me encouragement says, I'm sure I can come back on time, and said that the Tai is definitely worth a go. So, I listened to the advice of Americans, on the road of great Tai. our total of seven people in the car, coming from different countries around the world. Small van jijigaga, start up, we hand, relaxed way to find their location, opened. Seen on the main road, a long slide, to seize the time, drivers very quickly from the main road, along a soil and pit lane ahead of travel. "No, it's not a good sign. "Whisper in my heart, but as soon as the idea to give away. Signs I should try to convince myself that nothing of the thing. Self-Jie Xin wide so I wanted to, even if we are one hour ahead or delayed return to the city, and can only be resigned to not? everything as I had hoped that the great wall: amazing, beautiful. We are in the middle of a mountain car parking. Did see it here in China, it's not like I have come to any country where. Around the parking lot as a whole, all traffic in travel souvenirs, there is a long list of small hotel. In addition, won't be visible to other visitors. We spent about 20 minutes of time, they climbed up some steep hills and soon on the great wall. Now has a sell postcards came along, and I can understand English to me and said, "Hello, postcards do? which country you are?" and his other companions at one side seriously playing cards. we came to the recent Fort, much like an abandoned here entertainment venues, are built of stone. Looking far away from here, I at once some Halo sense of swing: the great wall is really spectacular. I tried to see as far as gradually extends to the horizon see the great wall. Then, turning direction, looking to go again. Still so spectacular. I took out a small box that put film, took something from the ground-soil, as a memorial to return home. Suddenly, I would like to hear what this earthy taste. Don't ask me why I like smelling the soil. A smell, how can we share the smell of urine urine? when I come to think of it, there are many tourists like us, came here to tour, if you want to urinate, or can only be resolved in situ. So, in this sense, my hand that holds the soil what is surely there was human urine. In fact, if I am a man, and I will sub bubble here in urine. A little pulling away. here in the great wall we played about three hours of time. 2:30 P.M., we begin to return. My heart very happy, so this very well, so that we can be reached at 5:30 Jinghua hotel. I had nothing to worry about. three minutes later. We are also on soil and soil on the road. But our cars are still slow, slow, slow, slow death, and eventually even came to a stop. Suddenly drops to the bottom of my heart. I look forward to, a long line of cars, down on both sides of the front walk slowly. We also had almost stopped to move slowly forward. I do not place to convince yourself: going to accelerate. At this point, the driver of the car in front that came down from the cab. Our drivers simply putting out the fire. IChild anxiety and began to pray. in this way, full stop for an hour on the road, not the place. I'll keep prayed silently. At the beginning, I would say some kind words of prayer, such as "Please clear roads as soon as possible", "Please take us back to Beijing at the fastest speed," "bless us security all the way" and so on. After an hour later, I had words of prayer was a bit turned sour: "please God, I beg you, let me be sure to catch the crazy train trip now. " 3:30, we began to walk again. I did not dare to stop praying. We pass an identification, it says how many kilometers to Beijing. I probably projections, to Beijing to take at least two hours from here a little more time. If this is the case, nothing is too big a problem. When we are to close to Beijing a little bit, the cars on the road more and more, although we did not stop. Lucky was that in China, driving is crazy. I in fact on the drivers best practices that do not comply with traffic regulations, some happy. Watching him almost successfully battled through at the last second when traffic lights one by one, I'm even a little pride. Of course, we have some distance from Beijing. perhaps by 5 o'clock, some tall buildings into our view. The tower is said to be built for the upcoming Olympic Games. So, I think, you know, was that there's nothing wrong with this. Time and after an hour, I didn't know that problem. We are also "three rings" go on the road. Here is far from the Centre in Beijing forbidden city there is a distance. I started looking around to see whether "one ring" identity. I now focus solely on train 19 points. 6:30, one in Italy people have asked me, "I said, you might also catch that train?" had heard these words, I suddenly like a beat, I have to admit that I'm unlikely to catch up. I can only stay in a hotel for one night. I have to find arrived in Shanghai on Friday evening, and got home in the morning of Saturday's plane. I said, "I think out of the question. "I have given up hope. All the while, Italy suddenly shouted, "Behold, Jinghua hotel!" he says with a add, they seem to have found a rare thing, "you just got off from there, get a taxi to go. " across the street are vehicles, drivers very fine friend, at the next intersection, stop the car. I was lucky enough to block a taxi. I showed him the map that he had where I want to go. If no one on the way, then, in theory, be reachable in five minutes. But Beijing's traffic has been with India in New Delhi, Japan, Tokyo, Manila, the Philippines, during a peak period, almost like sardines. Drivers of some leisurely drive, I get him I was out of the question. In fact, I can only be indicated that he get open, because in addition to my "thank you", "how much" and "too expensive, I don't buy the" other than a few words of Chinese, others would not say anything. I shake my chair, and said, "I want the fastest speed arrived at the hotel!" he understood. My legs were shook out, and it is trembling when I was in third grade, attend a piano competition had occurred. The taxi drivers go crazy to open up the car. He blazed with dual Flash, left suddenly rushed toward my hotel on the right away. My heart felt a slight consolation. 6-40, I went to the hotel. So I told the kind people, I'll go in, take out my luggage, immediately get on the bus. He did not understand what I'm talking about. I say again, so that he would be able to understand. Reminds me of the learned recommendations before going abroad, if you want a taxi driver waiting for you, we'll give you don't pay for it. So, I got off the car and went straight into the hotel ran. I know that the front desk attendants will speak a little English. So I bag into the baggage car, and he quickly got something up. the taxi driver outside in the front of paced. I a key step in and take in the car. Then we both realized, had no idea the next place to visit is the railway station or the subway. My breath, and then pointing to him like a guess the puzzle, I would like to go to the underground, also issued sound coming out of the subway. Amazing is that he understood. Car boot. Quickly to the Metro entrance. I was almost flying into the subway. At this point is 6:43. I have two minutes of time, Metro. From here to the train station 7 minutes time. I let myself calm, steady God, only to realize after lunch, I never eat anything. So, I took a Coke out from her handbag, drank a mouthful. My hands shook it. I let myself shaking the spirit shaking. Next, there is the subway way, also a ground level, you must go through enormous Plaza Beijing railway station, and also subject to parcel inspection, waiting room, platform, you can get. At least, it takes 8 minutes. Subway came, I got into the car. seven minutes later, the door opened. I fast walk underground section, a higher level, Plaza, security, and so on and so on my bag, grab bag snatched my bag, ran into the waiting, too many people, but I did not stop. Earlier there were two men in a chat, my eye to the past. They did not greet me. I have no idea, hard from them through in the past. One of the men took a step forward, gave me a kick out of it. I would like to say, "I've told you so indicate". But out of time. The ticket wicket, checking tickets and plunged into the platform, are already full of people in the car. I looked at the time, 6:56. My big mouth to catch breath, take a look at ticket, my car is the second number. Look at the anterior compartment: 18th. I walked toward the carriage attendants, 18th, and told her I wanted to get on. She said, "you cannot. "I have no way, only the 2nd car running again. Finally, get on the bus. All the sweat, I hand-bag, wore "I climbed the great wall" t-shirt. Car, I began to find their own bed. Place the package on your shop, look at the shop with a few other people, they will be my next 14 hours of new friendsFriends. they were staring eyes, looking at me. I rubbed off sweat on his forehead, the only way to do is say hello, and I said, "Hi. "One of the girls hands slowly lifted, says," Hi. "But they are still stared at me. I sat down and train from the platform a little left out. Recall that four hours ago, I also play in the greatest of the great wall; in the last few hours, I've many Cola drink. Then I realized, body jeans have already completely soaked. And I have to wait two days ' time, to wash up with bath and change clothes. However, I still feel very happy, even though I like clams, dormant in this little compartment. also, concerns: unemployed Americans in Beijing after "crazy" night
