Traffic

Traffic in Qingdao is ridiculous. Lanes are apparently a fluid concept here, as taxi drivers casually speed down the wrong side of the road and bus drivers swerve between cars and pedestrians alike. It makes driving an adventure, though, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

We went to Jimo Road today for some bargaining and I got some good deals. One in particular was a new wallet that I paid 30 yuan for (about 4 American dollars). I was sure it was fake, but when I took to the actually Salvatore Ferragamo store in Crowne Plaza, they said they definitely think it's real. And if it's not, they can't tell. So I saved about 5 hundred American dollars on that deal.

Anyway, pictures later tonight hopefully. Until then,
