Traffic Rules in China!

road kills

Chinese Traffic Rules are quite flexible. Dont try to understand it, make sure you dont get hit! The strongest will survive - and you are on the lowest step of the food chain in traffic!
The cracks in this window show some good examples of road-kills!
Crossing streets is an interesting natural phenomenon. A single person never crosses main streets. People wait for 5 minutes until there is a crowd of up to 50 people. Than the whole herd moves over the street:
A car can run over a single person, but never over such a large crowd

this is sad, but we need to understand that many tourists use flash!

I took this photo without being noticed - not using flash to harm the sculptures
