The Accident

The boys love to watch out of our hotel window at the activity on the streets below. They call the window of our room the "beautiful spot". Yesterday Ryan and I were in the hallway outside our room talking to other families who had just arrived. The boys were in the room watching things going on outside....suddenly they came flying out into the hallway screaming "we just saw a car accident and it was awesome!" They can describe to you in great detail how the white car turned and hit the back of a taxi, and then a silver car hit the back of the white car and then the silver car backed up and it kept on going through the traffic....unbelievable, they didn't even stop to acknowledge the bumps. Then they were watching outside again last night and watched a car turn into a bus. So, for those of you who may be wondering what we think of the driving skills in China, they aren't so good. Not only is it a free for all when you choose to drive a car here, the horn is just as important as the steering wheel.
