Street Obstacles

This post is the first in a series of things that you have to avoid while driving in China.

These picures come from Shanghai, the most Westernized city in mainland China.

WORKERS ON LADDERS

Look closely and you will notice that the ladder is not tall enugh to reach. So do you get a longer ladder? No, you make some poor sap hold it off the ground for you.

WORKERS DRAGGING CARTS OF JUNK

Again, DOWNTOWN Shanghai. These workers stopped for the red light.
