My near death experience in Shanghai 2007
So, I was catching up with some friends' blogs, and my buddy Sean recounts the time we almost died in Shanghai, much more eloquently than I could have. It's even a cliffhanger in two parts!
Until she skidded into an intersection like she was performing the stunt routine for a Goodyear Aqua-tread commercial and Froggered us halfway through ten lanes of terrifying cross traffic. That we are, ass-a-kilter pointed at a forty five degree angle inside of the far-easts largest intersection. And traffic is just racing by. Well, that is until one car wasn't as agile as the others in swimming right around us. And slammed on his own breaks and fucking hit us.So what does she do? "Oh no, I've been in a car accident, I hope my patrons and the other vehicle are all right!" That's what a sane person would think. She fucking giggles. Yep, a shrill little giggle and then she slowly drags our car out of the intersection like some sort of retarded four-wheeled sloth. And away we went.So that's how we almost died."
BTW, Sean screamed like a girl... actually, so did I.
