The traffic in Beijing was 10x worse than any city I've ever been in
in the US. I live in Atlanta (home of six lanes of bumper
to bumper traffic every day) and I've been to SF (where I got
stuck in a traffic jam getting onto the Bay bridge at 10pm) and
Beijing was much worse. It's even weirder cause there's a
million people on bikes (the pedal kind) everywhere as well.Then there was our trip to Chen village in rural China outside
Beijing. There were no lanes on the roads. People just
pretty much drove whereever. It's somewhat disconcerting
to see cars coming straight at you. Amazingly, I didn't see
any accidents. I've never been to Mexico city, though, which I can envision
being just as bad or worse. David
