I disagree with 4 . Driving here is awesome . I am completely free to stop in the middle of the highway to message someone on WeChat , reroute my GPS , or setup a minihibachi that plugs into my cigarette lighter and make lunch . Made a wrong turn off the highway ? No problem , just make sure there are no cameras and drive backwards 500 m on the side while flashing your emergency lights . Also , as long as you ' re a parking garage or some private area feel free to park however the fuck you want , because no one is going to tow you as long as cars can still get around . Driving in China means embracing your inner asshole while simultaneous embracing all the other assholes around you . You will get cut off , honked at , yelled at , flashed with high beams , and blocked in by people parking to quickly just to run in and get their nails done . But , at the end of the day you will develop unrivaled mental fortitude . There is a reason Zen came from China .
