The every morning ritual of fighting to get on the bus is an event that takes some getting used to.
To the casual onlooker one might think from the ferocity of the pushing and shoving that life and death is at stake.

But no, this is just to get onto a bus.

I have grown to enjoy this circus – partly due to my height and size; I have perfected a shoulder-barge technique that allows myself maximum leverage without actually pushing anyone over. This may sound bullish – and it is – but if I don’t do this, someone will do it to me (old ladies and children included) and I wouldn’t get a seat!
Perhaps I should suggest we form an orderly queue next time!:)

After i’d finished teaching and taking some more really bad quality photos (so bad I won’t put them online), Mcdonalds was in order. Mike and I eating there because we wanted our passports from our boss and that’s near to her office.

This long burger really isn’t very good, not one to try again
Took a few more pics…the underground.
Taxis on 重庆路, VW really have the market sewn up here. The Jetta is the most popular car on the road by far – due to the factory here – I have a respect for them I never had before, afterall, any car that can survive and run in this climate has to be decent.
Finally, near where I live. This is the main road that I often cross, it’s VERY dangerous as cars tear down here at high speed. Lost count the amount of times I’ve almost been hit
Some three wheelers, distant cousins of the reliant robin?
The security where I live. There’s a lot of them, and they like to march.Looking towards my apartment
