The Capital Adventure

As i promised, i would write a post as soon as i got back from the capital! Well, here i am, are you ready to hear about my day? Here it goes:

I was awoken by mom at who knows what time. We all rushed to get ready and finally got out the door and caught a taxi. My parents had been planning on getting on the 8:00 bus but we ended up getting on the 8:50 (oops?). Before the bus even got started, this man came on the bus, trying to give (i assume) his friend some money. Like every Asian, they didnt want it. So, for the next ten minutes they were yelling and the money was handed back and forth. Finally, the man gave the money to the woman and ran off the bus. Wait though, its not finished! The women proceeds to run after him and shoves the money in his hands and gets on the bus. The bus began to move, leaving the man with the money. After this little squabble, i found out the worst news that a person like me could find out. I had brought my camera, but the sd card wasnt inside. Great. Oh well. When the tragic news was told and sunk in, i fell asleep. It must of only been 10 minutes later when a lady behind me answered her phone and spoke REALLY loud, she was almost screaming. "WEI!?" (like hello.). Sigh, i fell asleep again, trying to ignore her. Before i tell you wht happened next, i should probably tell you some important info. On the bus, i was sitting beside my dad, so when i fell asleep, my head was on his shoulder. Now, on with the story. My mom thought this was cute so she wanted to take a pic. May i remember im fully asleep. Right before she takes the picture, i suddenly wake up and grab the camera, my picture wanst taken. It was the weirdest thing that i knew they were taking a pic. I gave up on sleep and began to read. You dont realize how bumpy the road is, until you start reading. I didnt read for long, it made me sick, besides we were almost there. When we were about 15 minutes away, we had to stop. Why? Because our bus clipped the side of a motorcycle. For ten minutes our driver and the man on the motorcycle argued, but then the bus driver handed the man some money then drove us away. Good way to bribe someone into silence...

The worst part of getting off the bus is finding a taxi. Everyone around you is babbling away, trying to persuade you to get into their car. You learn to ignore everyone because their prices are all too expensive because they see you as a RICH foreigner. After some help from a girl with PERFECT English (God's Angel?) we get in a taxi, off to the international school. Did i tell you we were suppose to go to the school at 12:30? well, when we arrived, we realized we were still WAY too early so we hopped in another taxi off to a mall with an McDonald's. Even though McDonald's isnt really my favorite food, after living here with only 3 KFCs, its truly a wonderful meal.

At 12:30 we visited the school, looked around, and talked to alot of people. It was 3 when we finished! So we went to another mall to shop at Wal-Mart and to eat SUBWAY. Now, you must be thinking, all we do is eat! In truth, its true. When we visit the capital we eat and shop, thats all. Around 5 we went to subway and met our friend, Watermelon. Together, we ate my favorite food, Subway. I had a 12 inch (take one half home for later..) with turkey, cheese, ALOT of pickles, Honey Mustard and Mayonnaise. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! :) Before we left Subway, we listened to a song in Subway. What song? Silent Night. What language? German. No idea why..

The rest of the story is History.
