Good bad day…Moving to Shanghai

Ok I knew, that I would have problems, so I was smart enough to buy tickets to Shanghai in 4 hours after the time landlord supposed to come to my apartments to take the key and to give me back deposit. But I wasn’t smart enough to imagine, that the landlord wouldn’t come at all…
So, 10 am I’m ready to leave, packed, dressed, already imagining how heavy is my bag…
10.00 - Nobody comes,
10.30 – nobody comes,
10.35 – I call Candice – office manager – ask to call landlord.
10.45 – Candice send me message - @Can you send me the number of landlord?” Ok, I’m tolerant like never (she called landlord like 5 times and every time she asks number, so isn’t it to show respect to others and to save the number just in case? And to spend 15 minutes to realize, that u don’t have number… ok I’m patient)
10. 46 – send the number to Candice, realize, that nobody will come today, think about plan B, C, D, E…
11.05 Candice send me message, that landlord can’t come today, only 4-5 Sept, heh, no I don’t play that games, it’s not my fault, I can’t wait and if I'm nothing - not even to call and say that plans changed... No, I don't allow to play with me and my time...
11.06 – 11.22 – call to Candice, explain plan B, I leave keys at the office, landlord will meet her and get the key and give her deposit, ask to call him to agree with this plan and to call me back to confirm…
11.44 – Candice sends me message, that landlord doesn’t answer, but she think the plan can work…
11.45 – call Candice to say, I can’t wait anymore and gonna do my plan.
So now U’d ask me, what’s the problem and why everything is soooo difficult, the answer is, I don’t speak mandarin, the landlord doesn’t speak English….
So I go to the company with all my bags, still don’t know, why my suitcase got sooo heavy, I leave keys, and one of the bags with blankets, pillows, bear at the company as I realize, I can’t manage it, take money from ATM and run to the road to get city taxi.
Actually first I planned to take B1 and then city taxi to the station, but now I don’t have time and I don’t have taxi… Then I just stop Xiasha taxi in order to get to Wu Mart (pronounced like Wumeo) to get city taxi from there…
And here is good day starts…
On my Chinese huo che zan – the guy in the taxi speak to the driver, “Wo ting bu dong”, then the guy tell me: “Bus, ok”. I don’t understand anything, but get in the taxi, driver is really surprised, how heavy is my bag…
Then they take me to some bus station in Xiasha, show the bus 525 and guy tells me, that I can go with him, as he goes to the same place and his tickets is at 14.05, mine is 14.00. Bus takes 1 hour and we have 1.5 hours until the departure – amazing. So I speak to the guy, who thinks I’m teacher from America, but I’m not and from Russia. He is going home amd working selling the mobile phones of unknown producer (similar to iPhone). I’m almost happy, that I met him. Then OMG, so sweet, he use translator and show me “I’m a little carsick, doing to sleep for a while” – so sweet from him, I’m smiling.
So I take the train and fill relaxed, thanks God, this chapter of my life is finished…
In Shanghai guys are so sweet to meet me at the subway to show apartments, I’d never find it by myself.
Take the walk at the East Nanjing Lu – a lot of people… Crowded – next parallel street is empty. Hahaha. But all this moving, lights, people bring me back that amazing feeling “I’m alive” I have some goals, I’m moving… Now I understand, that Xiasha was depressing, but before I was thinking it’s calm…
Just not to get crazy in supermarkets)))
Tired, drinking sweet green tea, ate amazing hurma…
