This week our Realtor/do it all man took us around to find housing. He also, picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. He took us to malls and American style grocery stores. He guided us around the city and ate lunch with us. He took Michael to work and while Michael was at work, Nathan took me shopping at a popular place to get bargains and did all the bargaining for me. We told him he should not be called a realtor he should be call relocation specialist or jack of all trades. He was kind and patient and very nice to be around. We also had a driver with us the whole time, who could not speak english but was nice as well and an EXCELLENT driver. The traffic in Nanjing is AMAZING. I say amazing because our driver could maneuver cars, buses, people, scooters and anything else that happen to be in the street like no ones business. At first I was a bit freaked out, but by the end of the week I got used to having pedestrians stand so close to the car I could smell their breath, yet we managed to not run over their toes. Now that's amazing!
I am stuck right now in Korea, my homeland, waiting for my flight home to Detroit. I have a long layover...about 6 hours. So I might be making multiple posts because I have absolutely nothing to do, but surf the internet, eat the delicious food, and drink white wine in the first class lounge. ☺ So I leave you with a pic of Nathan and our driver and I will probably be back with another post soon. Or maybe some pics of our food that will be under the food tab.
