When we got off the train in Nanjing, we went to the taxi line which is under the station. There are two lanes with a median in between that taxis pull up beside, and the taxi clerk loads 3 taxis in each lane at a time, 6 taxis, then they pull away and 6 more pull up.

When we got to the front of the line the clerk waves us to go down the lane. The first taxi sees the luggage and waves his hand no to us. Same thing with the second and third.

So now we're are standing in the middle of the road with all these taxis going by. A taxi pulls up opens his trunk and looks at my hotel address. He starts loading our suitcases into his trunk but he has so much crap in it already there's no way both bags would fit. So we take the one out and start walking to another taxi. This guy is yelling at us.

After about 5 minutes of taxi roulette we find one with an empty trunk who knows how to get to the hotel. No problems on the ride over. I let him keep the few RMB change.
