1:57 scooter fully charged, postal slip in hand, ready to find this place! excited that it’s not all the way to Beijing Rd. where we usually pick these up.
1:59 asked my first traffic cop if he knew the address on my package slip. his short and unhelpful response was, “nihojjrrrrrnnr”. after the third try, moved on.
2:09 asked two nice gentleman on the street if they knew. one pointed north and one pointed east. felt good that at least i had a quadrant. they could have pointed north and south.
2:18 chose north and lo and behold there in front of me was the post office! feeling good until i was told by the mail carrier that I should have gone east.
2:27 asked a grandma who knew the place. gotta be close now.
2:33 found the place and handed them my slip. was asked to show my passport and sign the slip. obliged and was promptly given new slip. asked where my box was. apparently the slip I had was only the slip to get my new slip.
2:39 back on the road, headed all the way to Beijing Rd. where we usually pick these up.
2:59 arrived at the Post Office and finally received our package...yes! back on the scooter, package in hand.
3:17 giddy with success, stopped to pick up cash at the ATM. card didn’t work. moved on.
3:25 home at last, package in hand, swimming in homestyle popcorn, riesens and coffee!
btw: thanks mom and dad!

nothing good comes easy, especially packages prepared by momma's loving hands:) they're the best!
I'd say less than 2 hours for coffee, popcorn & Riesens was well worth it!
