Traffic

 

 The roads in Nanjing are busy all the time, full of cars and public buses whereas in Shanghai, where we live in the sticks, the roads are a bit less crowded but still busy enough. We can’t for the life of us figure out the rules for the lights here. When there is a green man for us to walk and a red light for the traffic to stop everyone continues to drive…faster, round corners, buses especially. It’s as if were being told, OK you can walk now but we’re not going to make it easy for you! And other times when the red man is up and the traffic lights are green the cars are sitting perfectly still. Arg. I’m a good jay-walker, I’m up there with the best, only nearly died once but these roads SCARE me!
