Commuting in Beijing

Does Beijing have so much traffic that it forces cabdrivers to bring reading materials or is it that the morning reading of cabdrivers causes the traffic?

You can never have too many!

40 minute Flash flood= Disaster of Dongzhimen

The importance of proper urban planning: so that every mildly heavy rainfall isn't moments away from drowning thousands of people on the metro station.


This water was actually at a low point in this picture. It took me approximately 60 minutes to fight the waves of water (...in downtown beijing) to walk the 1/4th of a mile to my apartment. One 40 minute flash flood turned all of Dongzhimen into a filthy, sewage-y chinese version of venice without boats, as the water was up to my calves. 4 scathing hot showers later, I could still smell Beijing on my skin.


And yes, the girl on the right is wearing plastic bags over her shoes.
