Sorry Darling, Can't Talk Now. I'm On A No Cellphone Walking Lane. Will Call You Back...

Sorry darling, couldn't talk, damned inconvenient, was in a no walkie talkie lane and got behind some slow walkers. Talk about sidewalk rage! I couldn't pull out and pass because of talkers walking the other way.
No, nobody looks where they're going, they're all totally addicted to their phones, woops, just bumped into someone. Sorry madam, are you alright, I didn't see you, here let me help you up. Are you still there darling, yes they were having too many accidents and injuries due to distracted walkers talking and texting.
No I won't be home for dinner, I'm in Chongqing, yes in China, yes the one in Asia and they had this innovative idea to make sidewalks safer for the elderly and children...

Overloaded Vehicles? Perhaps. Just A Little...

Overloaded. Well just marginally perhaps. In places like India, China and many Asian countries, people are compelled by need to use methods that would be frowned upon in the western world. There'd be traffic infringement officers having a field day handing out fines.
But not here.
Life is harder but more accommodating.
Necessity is the mother of invention and these folk know how to improvise anything to suit their needs and they work hard for a meagre amount of money.
There's many more images of overloaded people and overloaded vehicles but I couldn't fit them all in...
