I realized something yesterday...both of my "new" experiences in transportation here in Wuxi have happened with my friend Andrea. The first was a few months after we had been here. I was still adamant about not taking a taxi since Aiden wouldn't be in a car seat. I had set my mind to either walking everywhere or waiting on my driver. But one extremely hot day we were going to visit my friend Julie and they had been spraying for mosquitos around, so walking wasn't optimal and my driver at that time wasn't free. So I bit the bullet and put Aiden in the baby carrier and we met Andrea and got in a Taxi. That was the beginning of the end. Ha! From that moment on, my mindset changed and we were taking taxis everywhere and no longer was Aiden in a car seat all the time, even with our driver. Times change huh?
Well, today was another one of those experiences. We still take taxis everywhere and use my driver most of the time, but today we took a ride with Andrea and her two kids in their new Tuk Tuk.
This is a three wheeled cart that has a bed attached to it with two bench seats. It was quite the fun experience. We drove down to one of our local malls to have lunch. So enjoy our journey in pictures.
Thank you Andrea for yet another fun experience that challenges me to try new things!

| The view as we drove. It was hilarious to watch the reactions of others around us as they saw white people riding in a Tuk Tuk. Ha! |
