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.

cheap, delicious,potentially injected with chemicals/water to make it heavier, but if not, organic and very good for you.
