The time I recall using my cellphone for something pretty important was when I went on a short trip with a few friends to Pingyao,in Shanxi Province,just outside Taiyuan.It was the national holiday and we had about a week off.I was responsible for booking the hotel,and my other friend was in charge of organizing the transportation–basically the train and the bus.

Anyway…In the days before the trip,I got into a really stressful situation at home.I don’t really want to go into all the details now,but lots of things happened at once–there was a sort of tragedy of sorts in the family in Changchun,and I had relatives,including my mother calling me a lot,I had a falling out with my landlord,because he wanted the rent in advance and there had been a problem with the bank transfer,and I fell out with my boyfriend over something really stupid,in retrospect.So,because of all this,I completely forgot to book the accommodation for me and my friends in Pingyao,for the trip.I just totally forgot.

So,on the morning of the trip we met at the designated meeting place,by Beijing railway station,and as soon as I arrived and heard them all talking about it,I realized“Oh no!I’ve not booked the accommodation”…In fact,we had some time to wait for our train and we were sitting in a fast food outlet having breakfast and I quietly on my cellphone looked up a few places and found,luckily,there was availability for the six of us at this really nice courtyard hotel near the centre of Pingyao old town.I quickly booked it,there and then using my phone,and then when everyone asked,I said“yeah,no worries,I booked it days ago”…and nobody knew any differently.

Now,in the days before online payment systems and bookings,this would have been impossible!So,I feel really happy about this kind of method of booking!Also,I must say I was quite lucky,because during national holidays in China everywhere is usually really full booked,so you can’t often find places you want at the last minute.So,I admit,I also got quite lucky this time.I felt great about this,of course,and it improved my mood a lot as well.
