Crossing the street, Lanzhou style

[Caltaz08]

if they bump a pedestrian in china on a crossing, would it be the pedestrians fault or the drivers? i know in England its the drivers fault but is that different in China?

@Caltaz08 drivers, of coz. no privilege.

apparently the craziness of crossing streets is not unusual in most Chinese cities

I went to China last year, to Lanzhou. And I was like: "WTF is going on?!?!"

Everytime I cross the major intersection, it feels like playing with russian roulette.

Looks like Google translate doesn't work so good. What I meant to say in the last few posts is that we were enjoying the city of Lanzhou, really liked the people, and were having a great time. Apparently you are the opposite of all the wonderful people we did meet, which is a shame. Good luck with your your unkind and lousy attitude!

[askaskandy]

Do you see us mingling with traffic like the Chinese? Yes. Do you see panic or fear? No. Do you see smiles? Yes. Do you hear laughter and casual conversation? Yes.

I thought I'd answer these questions for you, since your comments clearly don't match the video. We had a fantastic time in China, and traveled the country extensively.

And the Chinese people couldn't be more hospitable & beautiful. It wasn't till your ridiculous comments that we encountered anything approaching rudeness.

@askaskandy right

The traffic laws do exist, there is no enforcement though. Many of the major cities in China are starting to enforce the traffic laws such as Harbin and Beijing. I suppose they are appeasing the "polite weak submissive" folk though. Lanzhou will always be a pit. You smoke the equivalent of three packs of cigarettes a day just walking around the city breathing. Who needs community traffic enforcement when we are all so "strong" and "agressive" at driving and walking?

not that crazy, try Egypt or Paraguay

[dearme8088]
