AHHHH! Getting cab rides in Tianjin has been so stressful so far, due to the way they drive. Apparently the white lines that separate the lanes in China are completely ignored and traffic signals, crosswalks and posted signs are mere guidelines. This has created some stressful but really fun cab rides. Every time you come to a crowded intersection, your nervous you are going to hit someone and then when you stop a foot short you can finally exhale. I think the cab drivers notice how nervous you are and I often catch them laughing at us. So far we have always gotten where we are going safely though and very cheaply.
