Cheen

After trying to equip me with all the required weapons (like, attempting to teach me Chinese, in which I failed miserably) my company finally parked me in China, a city called Xiamen to be precise, a very beautiful island in south China.
As soon as I entered here, I was shocked to see its flyovers and sky-scrapers.

The image I had of China was of a developing nation where people work very hard and are not very rich, move around on bicycles, where the government is very stingy, but you land to this place and you can confuse it with any Canadian city, Canada, of course because of its Chinese population ;).
(I realized I should not rely too much on Jackie Chan movies).

This city is so well developed and clean, with all German and Japanese cars running, beaches too clean to qualify to be of any Asian country (NO OFFENSE).
Well of course, language is a big problem here, but that’s only in small city like Xiamen.

That was my first impression of the Dragon-Land, but in last 2 months, this is my third visit here and now I have settled enough to see it nicely…. In China its like, Japanese cars running on USA roads with German speed but traffic sense, that of India (You know, I think in India we still have some traffic sense as compared to China). People here follows absolutely no rules !! No Lane system, don’t follow divider rule. As a habit, here too I sit on the navigator’s seat in a cab, and trust me, for the first time I had put on my seat-belt not cause of fear of a traffic-cop but to save my life.

The accidents here are fatal. I see a crashed car almost everyday and by the look of that car, I know there are absolutely no chances of any survivor in that.
And the best part, I dint see any Traffic Inspector here (probably they too are scared to stand amidst these speedy drivers ;)..), and cameras also at few selected places.

So want to have a car-race here ;) ??
