mmm
I'm in Southern China, (yunnan specifically)
On a bus, get out of bus, realize I no longer had my wallet on me.
Now, since I live in china, I have a bank account here. and my bank card was in my wallet. Only had about 200 yuan left on me, and it would cost me at least 500 to get home.
So I went to my bank, had my bank book still, they basically told to go away. finally got some help from someone I knew who knows more Chinese than me (a local
turns out, you can only get your bank card replaced in the province you are from.
So I'm stuck in a different province, had forgotten my credit card at home, lost my bank card, and had enough money to live on for aboout 3 days, but not enough to go home.
So eventually get my friend to send me down some cash to get home with.
Started going home.
(there is another story in here as well, but due to the fact that I'm in China I won't tell it at this time)
So I'm going home and am in Kunming, and need to catch a train home at 12:15. I take the bus down to the train station, and get off at the stop called "train station"
Look, no train station.
Run around trying to find it., (the whole area is under construction, so my map doesn't help)
Finally find it, again, the train station is under construction, and is hard to find your way around. (has nothing to do with everything being in Chinese)
Finally get to my gate, only to look out the window and see the train leaving, it is 12:16.
I'm stuck, needing to take a train to Chengdu (closest big city to where I live) that costs 200 yuan, and I have 150) go back to hostel, run into someone I know, borrow 60 yuan, and get a train,) get to Chengdu with no money, walk to a friend, borrow 100 yuan, and get the bus home.
Was a bad coupla days.
