A friend and I needed to take a taxi to Chinese class this evening and it was a good thing we had our notes from last week's class. The driver didn't understand the address we gave him and drove us way off in the wrong direction. I finally got him to stop long enough to look at my phone for a nearby landmark and then we looked up how to tell him left turn (zuo zhuan), right turn (you zhuan) and go straight (yi zhi zou) until he got us to our destination.

He thought it was quite funny and wouldn't accept the full fare for the ride. He even gave us lessons on the proper pronunciation of Yucheng Road. I either need to get better at Chinese or get back on my bike soon so I don't have to rely on taxis.
