a Record of a Detour Oct. 7, 2007 Insisted by you, we took a detour thru Shekou, Shenzhen to Dongguan. A 2.5hr bus trip ended up a prolonger one - 1:5h by jet foil 10m checking for information 40min resting adn eating at KFC 40min walking around for an illegal taxi 1:5h by taxi TTL: 4h30min Let's sum up the advantages and disavantages: Advantages: 1. Yes, i see one more port/border town, at Shenzhen/HK frontier. Yes i never knew it's so international, devilly updated. 2. Taking boat's much more relaxing i/o a long back-tiring bus trip 3. When transferring, getting refreshed in KFC. 4. You made me walk like mad in the dark streets with luggage and bag. I doubted your insanity. But when I finally saw the taxis, I knew i should trust you, if not always  5. The satisfying and honest smile of the driver, who comes fm Jiangxi province, when we tipped him more Disavatages: 1. time-consuming, 2 hrs more. 2. costing Rmb150 more each person. 3. Missing the arranged welcome dinner 4. The taxi driver's tense driving on highway and mumble about his own wrong quotation of the taxi fee. He's just acting to get more fm us. Folks, would you still take this detour? It gained more or lose more? Do you think we are crazy doing this? |
