The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

Riding the 13號 bus at night.

Usually the 13號 bus is insanely packed in the mornings, but I think the Chinese wake up early and sleep early, so you end up with more than enough space for yourself late at night. Public transportation here is amazingly convenient, and 13號, which takes us straight to school, comes probably every other 5 minutes if not less. It's 2Y per ride if you don't have have a metrocard, and 1.6Y if you do. That's about 30 cents. The bus drivers here maneuver their vehicles like rabid beasts on the road, which is great when you're always running 5 minutes late to class. ;)

You know what else was 30 cents the other day? Lamb kebobs. YUM.
