How do your city roads compare with those in Beijing? What I remember most about the roads in Beijing is that they never sleep! There are always cars, buses, taxis, bicycles, people ... all hours! Is there a lot less traffic where you are? I can not imagine how the traffic would hurt your gas mileage (gas kilomerage?).

I enjoyed the difference between our two countries, although before I only new how to say hello, thank you, and good bye in Mandarin! I am learning a lot more this time.
