3 Traffic in Shanghai

I think driving in China has improved dramitically over the last couple years. Taxis are still a thrill ride but they get handed down hefty fines for running lights now.

My first impressions of it about 5 years ago was that traffic lights and lane markings are only there for cosmetic reasons. It is merely a suggestion as to what a driver *should* do.

2 Flight From Shanghai to U.S.

Speaking of huge airliners...there are rumors that the new Airbus A380 can be configured to hold 850 passengers. Instead of seats, you'll be strapped into a vertical board....

It'll be like going on a roller coaster for 12 hours, and get served food while on it.

Very good insight as usual...I am suprised that there is only 1 flight from SH to SF
