There's always a catch

The minibus we found up to Tiger Leaping Gorge was very cheap. The seats were fairly comfortable. The driver was friendly. They picked us up nearly on time. It seemed to good to be true, and it was.

We soon found out that even though all the windows were closed because it was cold, the passengers still wanted to smoke and it was allowed, so almost the entire drive up (5 hours) we were bathing in secondhand smoke.

It sucked. The only good part was that eventually I got used to it and so it wouldn't bother my nose but I knew it was still there.
