Traffic! Oh Boy!

The traffic here in China is something you just have to see. I know for me it is just about more than I can take when we are on the bus. The bus driver Li, laughs when he sees me, and puts his hands over his eyes. Because this what I do for most of the ride. There are lanes on the road, but they are only suggestions, not a requirement. There are approximatly 3 million cars on the road each day. Rush hour here is from 8AM until 8AM the next morning...lol We have almost killed atleast 40 people walking or riding a bike since we have been here. They do U-turns in the middle of the road, where there is no road. If he wants our bus through and there is no lane, he will drive down the side of the road, on the side walk or meadian. Just tonight this pregnant woman walked out in front of us, and he blew the horn at her and just kept going. She almost got hit. They blow at eachother all the time. One thing I have noticed is that most Taxi's do not have A/C put they do have a horn. They come within inches of hitting each other a lot. Our driver squeezes the bus in spots that you would never believe is possible. It really is like looking at an old fashion game of frogger. People walk a lot here too, and there are no crosswalks, so you just go and hope you do not die. I have ran more in the past 3 days, for fear for my life, than I have in 3 years. If you are in the way, tuff you will be hit. I would get some pictures of this, but my eyes are always clothed..lol
