How to Get to Chan Wu

I reckon folks are curious as to where this writer currently resides..sure "China" gives an idea, but im not living in the shadow of the great wall, or battling Xi'an's concrete warriors out here.

So, in attempts to clear up, here's a look at the transportation necessary to get to my neightborhood...

First, one would have to get to Mainland China. (Visas are your own affair, American foreign policy being what it is...(nuff said)) The its a train to Zhengzhou (jeng-joe). From there, an air-conditioned bus playing the latest in either Kung-Fu or Anti-japanese imperialist film in the VCD format...

Arrival in Dengfeng (Dung Fung), my stomping grounds. Here it gets interesting. You catch this bus:


pay this woman 2.5 yuan:

If you are standing, you duck when we pass the police, cause they got rules about safety you know, and folks just can't be crowding the buses...

The you get out at Da Jin Dian, the trafffic circle,

where you hook up one of these tuk-tuks for a ride through beautiful fields of maize related agriculture to the village of Wan Shan...

get off here,

pay the driver 1 yuan, and walk through the village to the door.

Not so tuff right? Welcome to Chan Wu, dont bring no beef cause we eat vegetarian!
