Myrtle Beach Adventure

U know what happened today?
Well, we were supposed to work till 9pm..But at 4pm, our supervisor told me and Joan that we can leave earlier as the biz today was not busy. This went out to be the same for Velle and
Tortoise. We were quite pissed off...Actually, in the contract, it stated that we are guaranteed to work at least 32 Hours a week...Now? We work not more than 3 days a week, 7 hours a day.. WTH *&%$@@
So we took the shuttle bus from our park to Walmart. And this kind female driver,autie, asked us to wait at the opposite high way before the traffic light at 7:30pm. Her bus will pass by and pick us up by then.
Actually, the bus service in US is pretty messy. U cant tell when they are coming as they don't really follow their schedule accurately. And you know what, there is no destinated bus stop along the way. U can just wave along the way when u see the bus coming. Just like a taxi huh...
Ok, the funniest thing was that, the traffic light doesn't have a zebra crossing(I supposed they think all people drive thr). We just risked our lives chionging all the way to the opposite side of the road.(or high way??)

So this is the view from the opposite side of the road..


We just waited impatiencely at the stand there. U can imagine how weird is that...Time was 7:40. We suspected that the bus was either not coming or we were waiting at the wrong location. Cars and bikes passed by us. I could see some blacks or whites were actually laughing at us..Cos u cant see any1 who sitting along the road side with few Walmart plastic bags(below)

Waited and waited. When we finally lost our hope and tortoise was calling up a cab, we saw the bus driving towards us...Oh YES!!!it was the autie. Thank God..It was so amazing to see her...So we got onto the bus. Guess wat, this autie drove us to our apartment..right in front of our apartment..That's sooo cool...
I told you already.My days here are so happening...I cant imagine what will happen tmr..~~
