When I was walking here I thought “Chinese people exasperate me”. I know we have different cultures but why when the traffic light is green for pedestrians, the cars, buses, scooters or bicycles try to run you over? I walk 30 minutes to come here and today when I crossed the street one bus drove faster and tried to cut me off, stopping just 50 centimeters from me. I was really afraid. 5 minutes after that, I crossed another street and a scooter passed in front of me and touched my hand. I was surprised because I checked for vehicles on the right side and it came from the left side. I think you can die easily in China and many times, like a cat.
