robbed
Today I was robbed at Da Shi Lan market with Brit and Barbara. I was later told it is a tourist trap where this kind of thing happens quite frequently. Spend the day with Ola, the cultural attaché at the embassy, canceling bankcards and making a police report. Now I know why the crime rate is so low in China - because it is virtually impossible to find the police stations unless you speak Mandarin and have a Chinese driver, and even so it takes us more than 5 hours. Luckily, Ola is a super nice fellow and I enjoy the city views through the car windows. The driver is cool too, with dark sunglasses and impressive road-acrobatics protected by his diplomat plates.

I am without my laptop and without my day planner/address book - time to make new contacts...
