Chinese Driving

Take your normal rush hour.
Multiply the number of cars by 10.
Add the same number of people on scooters and bikes.
Take 10 percent of the bikes, and put construction equipment, 10-foot pieces of rebar, 5-gallon water bottles and coolers on them.
Take 50 percent of the scooters, and add a person to each scooter.
Take 5 percent of the bikes and scooters, and put an entire family on them.
Speed everything up, a lot.
Ignore lights or anything painted on the street.
Now, and this is important, remove the concept of right of way. That is, whenever two vehicles are headed toward the same location, there are no rules governing which vehicle has rights to that location. The way it works here is that whichever vehicle gets there first, gets the spot, and the other vehicle has to slam on the breaks or change lanes without looking, preferrably the latter.

It is terrifying.

Twoard the end of the trip, we started counting the number of car rides we had left to take. No kidding.

Oh yeah. Yong loves Yanni. So add Yanni, yes Yanni, not sure what Yanni is? Look it up. Yeah, that Yanni. Add a whole lot of Yanni to the hellrides.

Ahhh.
