If you've never heard about or experienced China traffic, you wouldn't even believe it. There are seriously thousands and thousands of vehicles, people, mopeds and bikes on the road ... and absolutely no right of way! We've taken a taxi everywhere - they all are little Jetta type vehicles and all beat to crap. Getting into accidents is a normal everyday occurance for them. The roads are 2, maybe 3 lanes and they make them 5 and no one cares! They jockey in and out of lanes, constantly honking their horns...and I mean CONSTANTLY. The thing is, that's the total accepted practice here. They're not aggressive with each other, they don't yell or get angry or "flip the bird" or anything. They don't even look at each other, they just go. Totally amazing. Plus, pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way so don't even think about attempting to cross the road.
Rick says they drive like Buffy. Haha. We love you, Buf!
