Finding spare laptop parts in Jin'an

Even though we learned just a little Chinese so far we are having a lot of troubles to book ticket for the train for the next province. We hardly understand each other at the reception so we go to find a cyber cafe and we came back with more information. One ticket for a hard sleeper costs 280 Juan (28 euro) and we needed four hours to buy them, but we got them, that is the most important. It is recommended to buy a ticket a couple of days beforehand, because train transport is the most used one in China.
Our AC adapter for the laptop is destroyed. After a lot of communication we finally get an address which we show to the taxi driver and hope we get to the technological center in Jin'an. Taxis are very chip you just have to be careful that the taxi driver uses the meter. Even more cheap are the buses, but it is hard to figure out their routes so we basically avoid them. The taxi drives us to the front of the HP computer store and we get a cheap adapter so we have our laptop online again :).
We are also exploring the east part of the city. We take a look at the Black Tiger Spring and the Five Dragon Pool Park. There are almost no tourist in the city so we are quite an attraction for the local people. Some just say "Hello" all the time, some are waving, modestly smiling, taking pictures from a distance. The brave ones come to us and take a picture together.
