On the way home from the train station, I got into the first cab that the taxi stand guy directed me to and learned that when taxi drivers do not want to drive to my school’s district they just pretend that they do not know where they are going.  So the original cabby asked if my school was in a district that had no schools.  Therefore, I left the cab thinking he was a new driver because he looked fairly young.

I got into the second cab and the driver said that the original taxi driver lied to me and refused to go to my area because there was nobody to pick up due to Chinese New Years Vacation.  He told me that the original cabby was silly and illogical because had I challenged him then he would have looked like an idiot driver.  He told me that I was being too simplistic in my thinking.  He was a very nice man.  I probably should have tipped him even though it is not customary to tip taxi drivers in China.

Current Mood:  Regret for not tipping the taxi driver and feeling stupid for taking people on their word.
