Here chicken, chicken....
an update on my day so far. It's 5:15 pm here, we have just returned from our tour of the city. The traffic pattern of this city is impossible to explain unless you see it. The streets are divided into 3 lanes, but the lines are only a suggestion.
They stack up side by side as many as possible. Lanes do not exist, if you want to turn right, and are in the furthest left lane, you just cut everyone off. It's like a giant game of chicken. You fight with buses, motorcycles, bycles and pedestrians.
Our bus cut off another, and by doing so, cut off a motorcyclist who hit a bicyclist.... what a sight. You cannot imagine how someone can drive here and not get killed!
We visited a temple which was very beautiful, also a souvenir shop where we could see artisants at work. We had a lovely lunch at a Cantonese restaurant. You walk into the restaurant and pick the fish from the tank, it then shows up on your table!!
I will post pictures as soon as they are available.
The pollution is very bad today, you cannot even see the building next door. Forget about seing the sky. Only one day this week we say blue for about an hour.
on our way back, we passed another small restaurant. A woman was outside the door and she was killing a chicken... talk about fresh food.
