Hello everyone!!!!  So for my next Shanghai update I will tell you about the crazy traffic.  I don't know where to begin.  When you go to the crosswalk cabs, buses, and cars speed through honking to let you know they are about to run you over.  Then on both sides of the road their are bike/motorcycle lanes.  In these lanes bike and motorcycles can go any direction.  Cars make right hand turns from the left hand lane.  There is a nine lane intersection with no road lines in the middle.  I have no idea how anyone knows where to go!  The other day a car got trapped in the middle of the intersection and the cars just sped around it not caring what lane they were in.  Most days when I'm on my way to work I have to close my eyes. Also sometimes cars drive on the sidewalks!!!  So lesson learned if it has wheels it has the right of way in Shanghai!

The car in the far left lane can totally turn right!!  Still don't know why or how.
