[quote=INTIANJIN,222458]With my trusty McDonald's umbrella and soaking wet feet I managed to walk 5.5 hours from god knows where to my home in Wang Ding Di. My girlfriend ditched me in the middle of nowhere in some remote area I've never been to while it poured down rain for 2-3 hours. I walked thru gigantic muddy construction sites, thru dark swampy village side streets, and thru creepy late night entertainment whore localities. After navigating a maze of narrow village roads I came to a main street. I stopped at the first shop and asked where my home was 'Wang ding di zai nar'. Three pretty girls sat inside. The leader offered me a massage. 'bu bu. xei xei.' I replied, no thanks. With arms flailing to gesture direction and much chinese chatter my destined route was set. I was to continue walking the direction I was going.In my journey as I hummed a song in my head and twirled my umbrella I came across an accident scene. I saw a man holding a bloody hand so I walked over to him. Split like a squished orange and covered with blood; the poor man's hand was the center of everyone's attention as he sat against the side rail. I reached into my pocket and pulled out some KFC napkins and a plastic bag and did some quick work. I wish I spoke chinese so I could have done more.I continued on humming my song and walked a couple more blocks until I got that feeling I wasn't on the yellow brick road anymore. I looked around from the junction I stood at and all directions except the one I came from seemed to go off into endless dark night. I started asking shops where my home was 'wang ding di zai nar'. One drew a map, one muttered on for 5 minutes about how long the distance was, one did direction gestures but most had no idea what Wang Ding Di was. I was hoping I was getting closer. By this time I'd been walking for 3.5 hours without once seeing a familiar sign.<continued in next message>[/quote]
