Hi all! Just a very brief update, because I really should be going to sleep. I just wanted to let you know I am alright! LUCKILY, I did not end up driving today. Our Chinese colleagues from the lab decided that it was not a good idea to expose foreigners to their first time driving experience in Wuhan during rush hours. I could only agree. So they took care of the driving themselves instead. To my own surprise, apart from one messy roadside "Crime Scene Investigation" in Shanghai, I have not actually seen any accidents happen. Let's hope it stays that way!
After work in the morning and the driving experiment in the afternoon, we went for a nice walk along the Yangtze river. I will post the pictures tomorrow. Today was a strange day. It started off being really hot and sunny, but at the end of the morning it quickly turned into a bit of rain. The afternoon started of sunny again, but that was followed up by a lot of clouds and lightning at the start of the evening. It was still dry, however. Later that night when Dave and I were walking towards, all hell broke loose. Hardly ever have I experienced so much rain. The streets couldn't handle it. My umbrella couldn't handle it. My backpack couldn't handle it. But, fortunately, all my valuables were OK. We got home soaking wet, and all of that for three 500ml cans of warm Budweisers a person! So we made sure to thoroughly enjoy them.
Tomorrow I will try to get back to you with more pictures of our visit to the Yangtze river and our latest obsessions: the Situasian! Those of you from the US might understand what I am getting at. I will try and provide picture evidence soon!! Apart from work, we plan on going for drinks in the evening. So I am not sure yet, whether I will be able to write something in the evening. Especially since we will be leaving very early on Saturday morning, to go and visit the Three Gorgres Dam. I will try my best to keep these posts a daily thing, but I will give other activities here my priority. What else would I end up writing about, right? ;)
Have a great day!
