Like Fucking Bladerunner

Wuhan at night is like the city from bladerunner, almost as literally as you can get. Ridley Scott hit the nail on teh head for that one. I just hope I can get some photos up for you guys soon, and I promis I will. We may find a way to display them other than this blog as well, and the wuchang area of Wuhan isn't nearlly a bright and bustling as hankou. I still don't care for allot of activity and such, but it's nice to visit there now and then. If you take a cab it's kinda pricy around 25 yuan, not real pricy by american standards but you have to start thinking relativley when you move here. If you don't speak any chinese or know anyone that speaks decent english it can be real hard to get around. It's amazing that in a city where everyone walks allot they have no real footwear for doing so, people look at my boots and covit them a bit. Also in a city where there are tons of bicycles no one really rides one very well. They use them for everything from carrying a 10 foot long copper pipe to ... i dunno 30 gallons of water at a time. The water out of the tap in wuhan could literally kill you at the very least make you very sick. You shower with it and brush your teeth with it and maybe cook with it if you boil it but thats it. Odly enough 5 gallons of water runs you about a dollar (8 yuan) just like it does in the states. However, that includes delivery and the little chinese guy even puts it on the dispencer for you. So not to bad considering what you get. Vulgar acitivities seem to be very popular in Wuhan, spitting for example. Everyone does it and you can always catch someone doing it, Picking ones nose or digging around between ones buttocks are also very popular public activities. Carrying ones child around with a totally naked butt is also popular as it makes it easier for the child to ... well frankly shit where ever he needs to. However I still love this place, things like this are simply the way it's done here. Oh one other thing, if any of you come here the last thing you want to do is use a public toilet fi at all possible, pretty much just a hole in the ground guys. Anyway I have a calss to get off to talk at you all tomorrow.
