motor cycles

This picture, I have always wanted to take one but afraid that I might
offend people. All those motorcycles are the quick getaway for people
that do not want to take a taxi, too expensive. And during rush hour
traffic, motorcycle is better to maneuver. Normally, the charge is
based on distance and you can negotiate in advance. RMB 5.00 for
about 10-minute ride. Two big things to remember: 1) it's considered
as illegal so in case of accident, you are on your own and 2) Helmet
supplied by them, well.... you wear it at your own risk; Chinese
usually don't shower and just go to work in the morning. Lice, greasy
hair, you name it....

By the way, this picture was taken just across the street from our
apartment here at the end of the new food street, WuJiang Road and
MaoMing Road.
