Travels in an electric taxi

Our trip continues, one thing you can say about China is it is a land of contrasts. Yesterday we were in the Pearl market shopping. A first world store full of both real and fake goods sold with an aggressive gusto that would make Alan Sugar look tame and timid. Afternoon was the wholesale market for professional buyers from Next and other brands. After that we went to tea at our friends house, a Scandinavian designed marble floored palace. But just 500m away the workers building the next block lived in one room with sacking for a door. The electric taxi? That was how we got back to the underground, no lights, pitch dark, across a building site, no brakes versus the ready mix concrete trucks. Some people pay a fortune for thrill rides, if they want real fear they should have a go at that.
