TIC (This is China)

[moilami]

OK, some might quibble that, for political reasons, this clip does not belong in the TIC thread. But we don't (yet) have a thread called TIT (This is Ta*wan). Anyway, this does represent Chinese ingenuity at its "best". (With apologies for those without inside the firewall without a grannybuster.)



cheers!

Wow, haven't ever seen that epic unloading of a gargo. That was simply brilliant :o

Huh, it can be real?

I am not surprised if Chinese learn some creative routes there.

Actually it looks like that the traffic could proceed, each block slowly at turn. But who should go first? That picture could be used as a puzzle xD


Edit: It seems there is only one car who can make a legal move lol.

Don't know if you drive car, the bus drivers are the worst offender. and Taxi drivers. I've been to similar places, don't know who to blame, right or wrong is not important, just the way it is. Avoid the shxt at every possible chance. Thanks for them making life easier, Fuck them all.

Chongqing wins again ...

Not only is it the motorcycle capital of China, but acquiring that pretty pillion is FREE, according to the most recent "dowry costs of Chinese wives".

Shanghai, the place with the most expensive license plates in China, also has the most expensive brides.

Here's an accompanying news story from the South China Morning Post.

Watch: video of Guangzhou airport's 'most careless baggage handler'

A video of a careless baggage handler at Guangzhou’s international airport has gone viral on Chinese microblogs, garnering almost a million views hours after being uploaded on Youku, China’s equivalent of YouTube.

A baggage handler at the Baiyun International Airport, China’s second largest, is captured carelessly throwing boxes onto a conveyor belt. Most of the packages bounced off the belt and landed on the ground. The handler is then seen taking a rest to check his mobile phone.


The video clip appeared to have been first uploaded on YouTube last week by a person who said he was a foreign tourist. It was then shared on Youku, from where it was reposted by tens of thousands of Sina Weibo users.


The Guangdong Airport Management Corporation, the operator of the airport, could not be reached for immediate comment. The company wrote in a microblog post that it was investigating the matter, saying that the clumsy baggage handler was employed by an unspecified airline.


“This proves the low-quality service among delivery services,” commented one Weibo user. “Again, it was discovered by foreigners.”


Perhaps passengers who received damaged packages after their flight could take a lesson from singer Dave Carroll, who complained about United Airlines baggage handlers - in song.
