Chaotic Grace

This scene unfolded at my favorite intersection in Kunming today. There appears to be no method to the madness, yet it just seems to work...perhaps it's a microcosm for all of China. Coming East? First read this advice on crossing the street in China.

The embedded Google Video playback hasn't worked in previous attempts, but if we chose to give up so easily every time computers misbehaved, life would be frustrating indeed. Let's not choose that type of life! If it doesn't work, use this link. Users in China, we are out of luck till Google Video decides they are ready for prime time over here.

Love the traffic video. I just returned from China and was trying in vain to explain the traffic chaos. Just had some stills of the traffic near Yang gu. The video helped explain it. Just add twice as many pedestrians, donkey carts and pedi cabs with no barrier between lanes and cars, buses moving into the oncoming lane to pass.
