How to cross the streets in Shanghai

I slept so well, with the conditioning and all a few steeping pills... We woke up at 8, and went out to get some breakfast. Since there is no bread in China, and the small eyed people (still they would stare) eat noodles for breakfast... we just went out. We found this nice girl in the stall selling nice rice ball-things(male buleczki ryzowe)(2,8yuan for two). And we joined Ronald FuCkdonald on his bench and ate with his pleasant company noticing that the Chinese people finally thought that we're on our rightful place... Yeah... they were still staring tho.

One thing I noticed in China is that there are loads of guards and policemen but almost no police cars. People don't really have any respect for the police, or for the man navigating the traffic. He'd say ''Stop, don't cross the street'' and they just laughed at him, putting on this expression á la ''Do you seriously think I give a damn?'' China is so surprising all the time. Europe is the same everywhere. You have the rules (laws, social rules or whatever) and everyone is behaving the same. You know what you can expect of people, while here, I still have to learn!

So we ate lunch in this odd place, a soup which was really nice just for about 5 yuan. We also went to the Chinese Carrefour, where they had toads(ropuchy), big weird snakes, fishes and turtles in tanks to sell for people to eat. Yhmm... nice . . .

I also had my nails painted for 10 yuan by this Chinese woman, and they are so so so nice ;)

Finally, the advice on how to cross the streets in Shanghai. Knowing how busy they are, knowing that the bikes, the little motorbikes and cars are mingling in the middle all going in different directions, the best thing to do is to pick someone and follow him/her till you get past the oncoming traffic. Great :O
