Got the visas – One week to get the visa, another three weeks till it runs out. What a process. The next place we do it will be chongqing.
Getting to know the city of Shanghai. Its never ending. Skyscrapers, next to alleyways filled full of markets and streetfood. A fantastic underground system that seems to effortless transport millions of people a day.
I am still managing the road system – trying to cross a road with a pram, with the green walking light flashing is an exercise of juggling. Buses, trucks, bikes, don’t look out for pedestrians at all, and come from everywhere. Apparantly they always have right of way. Yesterday, just as we began to walk accross the street, a bike comes flying at us, hits a pot hole, and then slams into a car. The bike slides accross the street with him still attached to it. I start running to help, and then Matt says ‘your crazy, you will get implicated’. We walked on. A strange feeling to walk away when someone is hurt.
