It seems the Chinese like to get into each other's business. While driving in a taxi the other day, we noticed that up ahead on the road a commotion was taking place: it appeared that one taxi had slightly rear ended another taxi, and both drivers were out of their car yelling at each other. Our driver pulls up, and for some reason, becomes involved in the situation and starts yelling as well, and soon there are three involved. Another car pulled up on the other side and soon the 3 became 5. You get the drift. What was funny to me is that all the others who became involved were not there initially to see what really happened yet they all had something to contribute.
And imagine if you saw this in the U.S.: We were driving on the freeway when traffic slowed down considerably. Nothing new here at all considering every hour is rush hour. But then we slowly came upon 2 very angry people, out of their cars and yelling at each other about someone rear ending another, I'm sure, all this taking place in the middle of the freeway. Granted their freeways are only two or three lanes (who planned that??) but none-the-less, the middle of the freeway. Finally, as we approached, the commotion subsided, they got in their cars and drove away, and traffic was able to pick up at a normal pace and continue on. The funny thing here is that it seemed normal to me, until Taylor pointed it out. Imagine if you saw that in the U.S. ...
P.S. I promise pictures will come soon...

I don't want to even imagine what "rush hour" would be like if not only people slowed down to look at the accident but actually got out of their cars to voice their "concerns"! How crazy would that be! Nobody would EVER get home. Can't wait for the pics!

K totally random but do you rememeber when you let me drive your car in the C-Wood parking lot after practice one day??? Then I like tried to park and totally pressed the gas instead of the brakes and almost hit that tree? Anyways I can't beleive you were so cool to let me do that I was like 14 or 15.
That is nuts! They all seem so quiet, who knew they could yell! ha ha. Good to hear you guys are doing well, the ward is just not the same without you! Oh and I realized that I never answered you back about the Lotoja, it was my Bro in law, Keith and I were just helpers.
