In order to teach the children of Wuhan, I had to miss a day of observation to go to the other side of the city, from Hankou to Wuchang to get an in-depth physical examination. Before I get into that, I should give a little geographical insight. Wu Han is the conglomeration of three cities: Hankou (where I live and spend most of my time), Wuchang (spot of the hospital), and Hanyang (?). Think AOL and Time Warner, but more profitable and less stock-market-sucky. So these three cities are divided by the Yangtze River, which is nicely polluted and therefore, not so adorable. The city is vast and probably about a 20km (convert this yourself) distance from my apartment to the hospital and hence, my most expensive journey thus far.

We took a 2 bus and 1 taxi method of arriving there. As soon as we got there, we were in another conundrum, how do we get the forms and get them done. So we stood in a line, they gave us some papers, then we paid big bucks for the examination. We got a photo taken, mine is spectacular, if you were worried.
