Burger KING!

I decided to visit Chongqing during the seven day holiday.
Chongqing is about two and a half hours away from Fuling by bus.
To get to the Fuling bus station, I first had to take the 28 bus and then get on the 3 bus which took about 45 minutes of travel time.
I bought my 48 RMB bus ticket (about $7) to Chongqing and got on the bus and started reading "River Town."
Before I left to Chongqing, I researched some hostiles around the Chongqing area and found out that all were full for the holiday. I went anyway, hoping to find a couch or seat I could sleep in on a hostile's living area.
I went to one hostile and had no luck. I then wandered around the city and went to Chongqing's people square.
I visited the Three Gorges Dam museum and other local sites which were all free. It was about 5 PM and I decided to try Tina's hostil.
They had a room for the next day (Sunday) through Wednesday. Total of four days which was what I was looking for.
Before I paid they asked me for me for my passport.
I didn't bring my passport.
But I didn't sweat it at the moment because there are no rules in China. It's like Miami, la ciudad sin leyes! ( The city without rules/laws)

On my bus ride to Chongqing, I saw a street sign above that had the image of a motorcycle and a red line going through it signifying that motorcycles were not allowed on the upcoming bridge. Once we got on the bridge, I saw two motorcycles driving the wrong way towards us.
Surely, the Chinese hostile staff was going to let me slide. This way I didn't have to go back to the Chongqing bus station to then take a two and a half hour bus ride to go back to Fuling to then take the 38 and 3 bus routes back to Lidu.
This is exactly what I had to do. I guess rules apply only to foreigners.

I caught the bus back to Fuling, barely! The last one of the day, and I had the last seat on the bus which was the co-pilots chair.
This was only after the bus staff did some scrambling around for me and four others who didn't have seats to go back to Fuling on the last bus of the day. One lady who seemed to be the manager was getting heckled from a customer who couldn't believe there were no seats for the last bus. The customer and the manager had the same type of Alpha attitude which they demonstrated to all of us by screaming and shouting at each other. The manager seemed to win the battle and finally calmed the customer down.
The manager got on the Fuling bus, and ordered a couple off the bus which opened up space for two of the five of us ( I was one of the two). The couple gets off the bus confused looking for direction. The manager points to a van which is traveling at about 20 MPH and tells the couple to run. They start running and who knows if they catch the van. The three others were ordered to get on another van which was also going to Fuling.

Say you and your girlfriend, as paying consumers (in America), bought a bus ticket (plane ticket) and were comfortably seating down waiting to depart, but before you depart the above scene happens.
This, one can surely say, will never happen in America without retaliation from the customer. Or, the manager would compensate the couple with some extra travel miles or upgrade the couple to first class on the next bus or plane.
In America, the customer is King!
In China, I feel like the old communist days still influence some of the way business is ran.
The company or the person with authority still has say over the paying customer (at least in this scenario).
Or maybe its a way of life that we can't envision because we don't have an overpopulation problem. Every bus i've been on here is packed to the fullest. The individual here seems so insignificant at times.

But! I was definitely very glad I had a seat back to Fuling that day.

I slept in my bed that night and came back to Chongqing with my passport the next day.
