I had to go to Pudong to pick up some luggage that had been freighted here. If it hadn't been for the taxi driver I'd still be there looking for the FOUR different buildings in FOUR different areas of the airport precinct, that I had to go to to have papers signed and pay money! My taxi driver, whom I had just hailed in the street, waited everywhere for me even while I had to wait almost an hour at two different places because 'they' were having lunch - at two different times of the day.

It was a terrible experience, I left home at 10.30 from Gubei and got back at 4.30. I really mean it when I say that taxi driver was an angel sent from God.  If you want to have something freighted to you in China - DON'T!!
