Drivers in Changsha are crazy. They really are! Friday, I watched as my dear friend and boss was nearly run over by a bicycle and then a bus. We were running for the bus, and a bicyclist came out of no where and smashed into Teresa, she went flying and rolled a bit. She tucked her feet up and nearly avoided being hit by the bus. We were both shocked and she was quite hurt by the bike, which was ridden by a teenager. She proceeded to ream him, quite appropriately. He was like "i have to go to school." She replied "You almost killed someone!"
Needless to say this put a bit of a damper on the afternoon, especially since she couldn't laugh due to the bruise that was forming. But then my friend Garrick got into town. He came up and smiled and said. "There was an accident in the parking lot" I shrugged. "Oh ok." "Someone drove into the plants" "Oh really... China... Oh Teresa almost died..." Then I launched into the above story. We decided to take a walk in the park due to the lovely lovely spring weather. We walked out side and this is what I saw.
I was shocked! Needless to say. And Garrick was like, "i was wondering why you weren't more shocked! With that we went on to have a fantastic walk, followed by an evening of Mojitos and Mexican food.
