Scheduled pick-up time was 10:12am

The driver called me at 9:21am said that he came early

I rushed out after 20 minutes and we arrived Flushing before 11am

After meeting with Susan, I had time to have a meeting with Yuan Fen

1pm-3pm "How to Develop an Idea to a Business"

An excellent group

 L-R: Angela, Serena, Susan, Me, and Jane

 Thanks to Susan for the opportunity to help the participants

 

The schedule was too tight, so I had to order a car service

JinQiLin Car Service took me to the next event

3:50pm at East Flushing Library

 Thanks to the manager of the library for hosting the seminar

and setting up everything by herself

 4pm-5:30pm "How to Start a Business" and "How SBA Can Help You"

 After waiting for the Access-A-Ride on this chair for a while

I went to the Cafe next door to have a cup to coffee and a bagel

I am so glad that I did that

Not only that I felt warm

But also prepared me for the most scary ride for the next two hours

 The night before the Moon Festival

 Which one is the moon?

 He picked me up earlier than the scheduled time at 6:18pm

Language barrier prevented him to communicate with people and follow the GPS

We picked up a lady in Rosedale

and then we were going to Jackson Height to pick up another passenger

I didn't know that he got lost until

I realized that he stopped on the highway several times to check the GPS

He took off his glasses and put on his glasses several times

Then the scariest thing happened

He tried to back up on the highway when he missed the exit

I raised my voice when I begged him to stop move backwrd

I was frightened when I looked back and so many cars coming toward us

I asked him to show me the address of the next passenger

Luckily, I recognized we were on Northern Blvd bridge to Flushing

I guided him to make a U turn and back to right direction

When we got to Jackson Height, the lady had left.

She sounded angry in the phone when he called her

because she had been waiting for one hour

So, we finally can head to Brooklyn

He cannot read the GPS and I had to yelled when I guided him

I was so released when I finally got home at 8:17pm

The two-hour ride was a nightmare

 

Thanks to Joey Fei for giving me the gifts

I didn't have the chance to thank her in person because I was in Flushing almost the whole day
