China in 12 Frames

I thought those Hong Kong taxis were very cool. Looked like small Volvos or something. I think they were Toyotas. With leather interior to boot! And a big warning sticker inside posting the outrageous fines for smoking or not wearing your seatbelt. That's the price you pay for a properly run city. Contrast with Shanghai, the taxis are mostly crummy VW Santanas, seatbelts hidden under the seat since no one knows what they're for. But at least you can smoke in the taxis (the no-smoking stickers are ignored) and have total freedom to do whatever you want. It's a toss-up. Good city with many many regulations, or a free-for-all bizarro city where no one is going to stop you no matter what you feel like doing.
