Another New Experience
First time for everything...today I managed to lose my Yikatong (public transportation stored value card). Used it on a bus around 2 pm and when looking for it to take a different bus after an errand about 30 minutes later...gone. Think I inadvertently dropped it out of my pocket when I exited the first bus and pulled my gloves back out of same pocket. Lost RMB 40+ including the card surrender value + the stored transportation value on it--worth 10 subway or 50 bus rides. Well, hopefully somebody needy found it and can make use of it. Since I rarely go around losing things, I was rather peeved. But it's such a necessity in Beijing these days, had to head to the closest subway station to get and charge up another one. Grrrrrrrrr.
