Eight things I got used to after moving to China

Traffic

In every city I've been to in China, traffic of all kinds is just a crazy proposition. Be you a pedestrian or a taxi passenger, you are taking your life in your hands – or putting it in someone else's on every outing. It's a wonder anybody gets anywhere in China. I've often told my stateside friends who wish to visit that I would have to sedate them before taking them anywhere because they would likely have a heart attack at some of the traffic doings.
