Out in the backblocks, lost, we find a taxi cab - and negotiate terms to return us to the campus. The taxi driver, a young woman told us it would be about 80 RMB back to the college, but in the end it only cost 60 RMB. The easiest, and safest way to get back to the college for three worn out exhausted English teachers!
All sorts of wheeled vehicles travel back and forth all the time - hard to tell what is carried in some of them!
The tut-tut rescued us from the village, the name of which we have no idea. It was a most uncomfortable ride with our long legs finding little room in the back of the vehicle, as it bumped and shook us for about 15 minutes.
A load of brooms being delivered - probably picked up from the village where they were made!
Huge trucks with great white bags often overloaded and bulging out over the road, ply their way back and forth. I have no idea what is in the big bags - though many are delivered to a big factory near the college. A chemical of some sort, but other than that have no idea.
