Observations:
Karaoke is a favorite Asian pastime, and can be found everywhere – even bus rides!
Not a bandit…Masks and handkerchiefs are carried around to serve as filters from the heavy fumes and pollution
Craziest driving we’ve seen yet- few road signals and everyones makes their own “lanes” –
we even had cab drivers decide to use the sidewalks and go against oncoming traffic to avoid the lines of traffic on our side of the road! This was a little frightening, but I also kinda felt like I was in a crazy racecar game!
A “yes” is answered with an eyebrow raise and lips are used to point directions
