Here's the street bordering campus. This pic doesn't do it justice, but once we leave Beida's campus it's just crazy. Walking across the street is a threat to life, not only from cars zoomin by but the hundreds of bikes. Beijing once was known for its bikes, and I've been told that many of the streets used to be bike only. Obviously not anymore. I'll have to put up a picture of how they ride bikes here to carry two people. You see it everywhere - one person pedaling and one person sitting on the back rack. Westerners are no good at this. My rommmate's bike broke when he tried to carry someone on the back. One of the funniest things ever.
