There is also a two tier pricing scale that can occur...

Wifey and I decided to visit Yellow Mountain in Anhui province... its where the government big shots had there summer "cottages"

We arrive in the airport at Huangshan, and wifey says stay inside till I call.. stepson and I retire to the massage chairs.... She is outside negotiating price from Huangshan to Yellow Mountain.....


Ring Ring Ring.... phone rings Wifey says come out to taxi .... stepson and I grab the luggage and head out to the cab....

Cab driver goes ballistic when he sees me and stepson approach the cab...Me being white and my stepson is mixed race....He complained to much luggage.... (two bags plus stepsons back pack)

Wife was crafty... had Anhui tourist rep with her when she negotiated price....

The ride to Yellow mountain was a bit tense... my wife and the driver arguing..Its cracks me up though.

The whole debate was over probably $20...

My wife came from a very poor family, she watches every expense...She is a tiger mom...

Yellow Mountains




You can get some pretty good food in some of the regional airports...

Fresh noodles and veggies at Huangshan, It was just mushrooms, veggies,noodles and stock.... I could not tell you if it was a veggie or meat based stock....

When have you seen airport food that looks so damn good ?
