In the west we have red and green lights, red means stop and green means go. In China it seems that red means stop if you can be bothered and green means see if you can kill a pedestrian. I can not understand how a nation of kind considerate people who help me so much on my travels turn into such raving lunatics when they are given wheels.

We never get to drive on the sidewalks in America :-) Everyone I have met in China is so helpful and kind, that I don't worry about anything other than getting sick from food purchased from street vendors. But I just don't eat that food, so everything is good!

I once even got a taxi just to get to the other side of a main road. Wished I hadnt because he just aimed the car and went, traffic was skidding everywhere.

Another thing are unscrupulous taxi drivers. -_- Though it bothered me at first, I can handle the stares. I don't know what people are staring at anyway since I am Asian and I look Asian. And I thought I would just blend right in. ^_^"
