Taming the Electric Tram

Catching the tram was less challenging than I thought it would be.  We waited a mere 3 minutes before it silently approached the platform.

I paid 2 kuai with my transportation card, "BEEEEP".

Once inside its belly, we sat on a comfortable seat, 
and gazed upon the modern, sci-fi interior.


We snacked on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich
I said I would make (see earlier post) and
enjoyed the pleasant, zero-gravity ride, 
and arrived at the end of the line 15 minutes later.

When we got off, there was a flurry of activity, with lots of people buying food, changing buses, and running to catch the tram.  This restaurant, perhaps specializing in tasty, cartoon duck, had a continuous recording touting their special of the day, but we were not enticed:

Down the road a bit, we noticed a slew of delivery bikes for a popular fast-food chicken chain, most noted for their crispy batter with 11 herbs and spices, otherwise known as, "ken-tuh-chee"

Returning home after a quick bite, we said goodbye
to our shiny friend as it slowly drifted away out of sight.
