Grand Prix

7th October
Today it was the shanghai grand prix.
Ive never been to a Grandprix so I thought it would be a fun thing to do. We had a look at tickets on the website but they were really expensive so we just decided to go to the course and see if we could get tickets there.
It was mad getting there. We got a bus (which was free) but just at the bus stop there were loads of people selling tickets - we didnt get any of those cos they were probably fake.But all around the bus stop there were just people trying to sell you stuff.
We got to the track, which was quite far away from the centre of shanghai. It took about an hour on the bus. We went to the ticket office and luckily there were tickets left. The tickets were really good, we were sat just near a long straight bit and a bend, and a couple of cars went off on the bend which was exciting. It was really bad though when Lewis Hamilton came off cos i was obv hoping he would win.Afterwards we got to walk on the track which was cool.
When we got back into town we decided to get a taxi back to halls because i couldnt be bothered to go to the bus stop, and when the taxi driver set off she pulled out infront of a moped and it was raining really badly because of the typhoon, so the moped tried to stop but couldnt because of the rain and it skidded and the guy fell off and it looked quite bad. But instead of stopping to see if the guy was ok, the taxi driver told me that it was his fault for going too fast, and then drove off and didnt stop to see if he was ok.
When i got back to halls sarah and fran came round because they had just got back from their travels. They said Hong Kong was amazing so im really looking forward to going there.
