You cant beat road closures
One of the busiest roads leading in and out of Qingdao city center has been closed for repairs all this week, we’ve heard the government are laying in new sewage pipes that can cope with foreigners coming to China for the 2008 Olympics and carrying on their throwing the toilet paper down the pan after wiping habits, which glorious PRC sewage pipes were not designed for. The road in question, Yan Er Dao Road is a fairly long road going through some ‘older’ estates (i.e. mid to late 80s) and across into the Olympic area, now that road is firmly closed off leaving every one else to go down the only other two roads into the north central area of the city – mainly Nanjing Road, and Fuzhou Road.
China Car Times has spent an hour per day picking up the significant other, sitting in gridlocked traffic in what should be a 20 minute, 16km trip at the busiest of hours.

Don’t you feel patriotic doing your bit, making your sacrifice so that China’s coming out party will go off without a hitch – or plugged pipe?
I shed a tear of pride EVERY TIME I throw my waste toilet paper into the bin by the toilet.
Everytime I get drunk in restaurants I pee in those bins. Its my own way of striking back at the impersonal society that we all know and love.
Nothing says I love you more than a new bicycle.
Im an avid mountain biker, I have at least 4 on my balcony.
My wife is not impressed by my ‘junk’ collection.
