If
you thought it was frustrating when the car in front of you didn’t turn on
their turning signal before switching lanes or people who jaywalk, well, then
China will test your limits and I mean it. You are better off crossing the
streets in groups with the natives because they are fearless! People jaywalk
all the time. Whether there is a red light, green light or a one-way street, it
doesn’t matter! Drivers are full of surprises. Also a popular mode of
transportation in Kunming are mopeds. A lot of people drive them…on the
sidewalk. When I am walking along the sidewalk, I am constantly looking over my
shoulder before I make the smallest movement. I’ve had an experience where a
moped drove about 10 mph past me and I was so close to losing my left arm!
One-way streets are a joke! They can become two-way streets at anytime. I always look both ways before
crossing. People drive really nice cars too like Audi and Mercedes. My whole
time here I’ve only got to see one car accident. Just one!
