It was a rain and cold night. I finish my evening classes and was about to go back to my house, I got into a taxi and told the driver my destination. To my surprise, the driver made an apology, says he didn't know the way. What come a taxi driver didn't know the way? I was a little of angry. At the moment, an old couple stopped our car. Their destination was the same as me, so he let them in. The two greeted us but the grandpa told the driver the way. From their conversation I knew the driver was a fanner and he had become a taxi driver just for three days.

I'm also new to Chengdu. Sometimes I make direction mistakes, but there is always someone can help me. It was cold outside, but I felt real warm.
