No alligators in the sewer

But there are fish in the subway.  This is in a pedestrian tunnel leading to the subway station (and under a large intersection) that happens to double as a mini-aquarium (only 3 tanks).  I wonder what the fish think about the people who spend all day walking back and forth, back and forth.

Things on bikes

Things found on a bicycle and food are likely to be two recurring themes here.  It's a good thing Shanghai is flat, because it really is amazing what you'll see being carted around sometimes.

I had to run to catch up with this guy, but as it turned out, it's not that easy to see what's going on in the second picture either (I adjusted the contrast on the first a little in hopes of making it clearer).  I couldn't get a glimpse of whether there was actually anything in the wheelbarrow he's toting, but I suspect it was empty and that he just needed a long metal pole.

Some people drown their sorrows.  Some people take refuge in a different kind of pint.  For those of you who can't decide...


In other news, yep, I'm still looking for a better segment name, although at least this one would pay homage to Dave Barry.  WT? is nice and succinct, but I'm not sure it quite captures what I want.   Well, we'll see.

Things You Don't See Every Day (But I Might)

I think this is both funny and genius.  There's no need for gloves to ride your motorbike in the winter!  For all I know, this might also be common in the US, but I'm usually not surrounded by so many scooters and motorcycles, especially ones passing me on the sidewalk.


Note:  I'm pretty sure this will be a recurring feature, so I'm taking suggestions for a better name than TYDSED(BIM).  Put on your creative beanie and nominate something.

    Huh?

    No, I haven't seen the movie, and yes, I chose the name anyway.  I'm told an Asian woman with green eyes is a plot point.
