ID: 1536 Intermediate
There's never a dull moment on the streets of China. This means you better be looking both ways even on one-way streets, and you must always be on the lookout for renegade pedestrians and maniacal drivers. Are there sometimes altercations? You better believe it! This lesson focuses on a disagreement between a driver and a pedestrian.
