Almost Died Today

No..not really. But I seriously thought that traffic in Senegal was bad. Nope. China traffic is on some other echelon! Drivers here like to play chicken with each other and no one stops until someone is about to get hit. Really. And, what make it even more difficult for pedestrians is that the streets are so wide...I'm trying to decide whether they're wider than those you would find in New York.

Hmm...yes. They are. So how am I supposed to avoid getting hit, while trying to cross the street before the crosswalk timer goes out? I guess I'll be that girl who gets hit and is in the hospital for a month.

If that happens, they better just send me home.
