Using #Didi for 1st time!

Posted in China, Life Events, Location, Subject by

SUCCESS! I finally tried using #Didi for the first time this week! In the US, we have #uber but China has a program called #Didi as their alternative. 🚗

I really enjoyed it actually! You put in your pick-up spot and destination. It finds a driver and tells you how long till they arrive, a map tracking their car coming to you, their license plate #, and a car description (i.e. black Toyota). They pick you up, take you to the destination, trigger the receipt – it is automatically paid for via #alipay or #wechat and you rate their service.

By the grace of God they Actually now have an #English versionof the app which lets you type the names of places in English or #Pinyin. Super convenient!!

I do so love #tech advancements 😜

I only knew Lay, and that’s because he’s always on KFC stuff in #China. 😂 Fit perfect with my piano music box, right! .❤ Now they can join my #JYJ (#jaejoong #junsu #yoochun) collection!

Adventures in #Translation!

Tried ordering an iced tea and cola. Pointed to iced tea picture . . . waited then said ‘Bing #Cola’ (Iced Cola). She looks at me funny, but says ‘ok!’ Hands me a cola in the tea glass. 😜😜 Had to go back and get the tea – too funny!

#Cheonggyecheon Stream

  #Cheonggyecheon Stream in the center of #Seoul.  The area used to be an abandoned road that was filled with trash and yuck.  The city cleaned it up, ran a stream through it, and turned it into a walking park with clean water to wade in and bridges to play under.  The area is full of families and dating couples on summer evenings!

The World Through #Tech

The #Tech world – always communicating behind glass, usually with filters distorting the view.  Looking each other face – to – face might help us see one another more clearly.
