I've done a fair bit of travelling round China now, spent 2 days on a train getting from Beijing to Urumqui to get to my project, another 26 hours on a train travelling to and from Lanzhou in Gansu for a language course, catching a number of coaches to jump from one place to another, and many terrifying taxi trips. The driving hear takes alot to get used to, not because they drive on the right, which would be fine enough, but because they drive all over the road, both the left, right and middle. Weeving in and out of small gaps, overtaking on small tight roads when going round a corner, trying to do a u turn in the middle of a major road and having a giant lorry stop just inches from your car, swerving down turn offs just missing the huge wall to seperate the road from the bridge ... it's the one thing which really does scare me about this place, but at the same time, makes it feel like you really are in China, and it wouldn't be the same without it.
