Driving Madness

The Roads in Hong Kong and Dalian are very crowded with cars, bicycles and people! The "rules of the road" seem very flexible! Cares move from lane to lane moving around obstacles in both lanes of traffic (including oncoming!)
You can see cars all over, and if you look closely in the left side you can see a car going the wrong way as it tries to turn.





You can see that "traditional" transportation drives side by side with modern transportation!

Here you can see our driver hovering in the middle of the lane, he was working to get around the car in from of him. I don't know why they put markings on the road at all!


This was just a cool tiny vehicle we saw


Cars will drive on sidewalks and take detours around cars on a side road to get around other cars, Pedestrians move as a mass and weave around the cars. The roads have been an interesting experience!

I would LOVE to have one of those tiny vehicles - talk about MINI van! I bet it gets a hundred miles per gallon! Cool.
