Note added to goal Ride a new and random city bus
Took 204 from a weird construction stop at Xinyi/Fuxing to somewhere in Wanhua (I think). Walked a bit around there, got some chicken hearts and sweet potato fries from a cute vendor, who is lucky he's cute because the food was over- and undercooked, respectively. Took the 223 home along Chongqing. Good to know about the 223, actually!
