slammed into doors and people.

I'm not quite sure what is wrong with me, but I am a very lucky person that gets slammed hard into things. Yesterday morning when we arrived at the train station in Quenzhou, we had to wait for the ticket office to open. We were first in line next to the sliding doors. People started gathering behind us and slowly shoving towards the front. 7:05 hits, and people start prying the doors open. I literally was body slammed into one of the doors, then slowly creeped around it to make it inside. Asians don't know how to wait!! I was laughing so hard as all these people were running past me. Like, holy crap guys! You'll get your freaking tickets. That was a great start to this trip.

Another story about slamming into people, literally makes me laugh out loud as I'm typing this. So we took the subway to go see Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. Clearly we have no clue what's going on, but we just know we have to cross the busy street to get to them. We find that a butt load of people are lining up behind this fence to get over there. They only let so many go across the street at a time because there's another line forming on the other side for security. 

You don't stand in line like you do in the states. You are pinned up against everyone around you and there are no such things as personal bubbles. I ended up lying on some guys shoulder because I couldn't move! Haha After an hour we finally made it to the front, and people are constantly shoving you. The guard opens the gate and let's people start crossing.. Holy poop!!! All hell broke lose. I took one step forward and I almost died! People screaming at you in what sounds like twenty different languages and you are just trying to cross the dang street! People were falling left and right and I almost went down with the gate. I somehow started spinning to keep my balance and barely made it out without eating it on my face.

I turned around to see if any of the other girls made it out alive and I only saw Hannah laying on the ground on the fence. Emily comes bursting through a crowd laughing hysterically, and randomly Kelli and Taelor came walking out. She had her hands in her pockets and when everybody started shoving she slowly fell and couldn't get her hands out to catch herself. You can only imagine how that looked when I turned around and saw her lying on the ground with her hands in her coat pocket.

We literally have had so many crazy things happen to us while we have been in China but we laugh so hard every time we bring them up and they are hands down the best memories ever.
