Keeping pace with China's crazy drivers

Oh, come to Chongqing! Here you will see the very best Chinese driving possible - or the worst, depending on how you choose to see it. Viewed with western eyes and through western experiences, the traffic is absolute madness but, looking with the openness of impartiality, you will see how it flows and quite smoothly at that. No one becomes angry at another's driving and everything is accepted as normal. There are no raised fists being thrust out of windows, no birds being flipped, no shouting or screaming, no fights about someone taking 'your' space on the road. In brief, there is no road rage whatsoever and everyone accepts everyone else's driving, simply moving around or adjusting to the new situation in an almost Taoist way.
