Traffic

You never forget the horrible traffic in Shanghai. However, I had forgotten about the constant horn honking that these guys think they need to do. Yesterday it took us 2.5 hours to get to the plant, and 2 hours to get back. (It's usually a 1 hour drive.)

There was one moment of Zen, however. On the way back to the hotel last night, during one particularly long stretch of not moving, the drivers (there were two) treated me to a real live Chinese Fire Drill. Yes, they both got out of the car, ran around to the opposite side in that stereotypical stiff-legged, straight-armed way, and got back into the car. I'm sure they have no idea how amusing it was.
