Just a little slice of life here in Yulin.

Active bee trading - I see this in front of our apartment from time-to-time

A typically Chinese case of gridlock. Chinese drivers will tend to go as FAR as they can in the direction they're going, until they are blocked, regardless of how many other cars THEY block.
