Hán Xiāngpíng was just over one week into her much anticipated escorted tour of China. She had seen so many exciting things! She was disappointed, however, by the transport provided by the tour company.

You would think, for the amount of money she paid, that they’d at least provide a few pillows for her to sit on. The upcoming 36 hour drive to Beijing was worrying.

Her bottom was already so bruised from the roads in Anhui!
