The next day, I was invited out for a different kind of hotpot lunch with a few friends who have a English school on the edge of the city. Afterwards, I had to get the bus to our school's new campus (pictures coming). This was my view while I waited for the #72 bus.
After the Liberation, rickshaws were outlawed in China. The new government thought they were degrading. These pedicabs are common on the streets of Mianyang and are a cheap alternative to a taxi.
One of my students told me that his father pedals a pedicab and makes 1000 RMB each month. That is about $4.25 a day. His school costs are 6000 RMB each year.
