I am getting braver to venture out on my own. Today I took the public bus to downtown. I needed to do some work in the classroom and meet one of the secretaries for coffee. I walked 25 minutes to the bus stop. There is a theft problem on the bus so I was very careful to hold onto my bags. I was curious how long it would take me on the bus verses the taxi I've been normally riding to school. At one bus stop 6 giant busses were all trying to load and unload people. It turned into a crazy bus jam. I finally made it to school 1 1/2 hours later. This helped me decide to take the taxi; it is much faster and safer. Usually a couple teachers carpool to cut down on taxi cost.
Sunna is a new secretary at the school this year. She is a little sunshine. Her husband came along for the coffee conversation. He is a policeman. She has agreed to meet with me once a week to help me learn Chinese. I feel very blessed to have such a sweet sunny personality to assist in learning this difficult language.
