public transit

Short ode to public transit: Other than the very cultural nature of the city, Beijing's public transportation system may be my favorite thing about the city. Although when you're in a hurry nothing is more frustrating than waiting in congested traffic, the bus is a GREAT place to think while watching the changing and flurried landscape of Beijing go by. Plus, it's gotten me more familar with the layout of the city as bus routes tend to wind.
