Hardee Hangzhou Culture 101 - Lesson 2

In continuation of the last lesson, I thought I'd add that sidewalks make excellent parking lots. They are full of parked cars, motor scooters and bikes. Again--there is a gap: use it. We learned today that bus drivers are only fined 100 yuan if they cross a line and car drivers are fined 200 yuan. Therefore the bus drivers don't really care if they cross lines. I can't tell you how many "run ins" we've had with a bus coming within inches of our van. Josiah is the popular guy here. Our guide loves to "flirt" with him, rub his hair, and tease. At breakfast the waitresses took turns walking past and fondly looking at him. Yesterday a little girl (she was amazingly beautiful) was making eyes at him in the hotel lobby. He is not too sure about all this attention. :)
