![“If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.”
― Mario Andretti
In China, everything is like this. Unless you are away from the cities, construction, traffic and just buying some noodles is moving at a pace that seems just a little out of control. It has the feel of a pressure pot that has been turned up just a bit too high.
However, I have lived here for a while now, and I have become used to the mad cap pace that everything is running at. Once you get adjusted to that pace, it is a dream come true for the traveller. Planes, trains and a shit-load of restaurants and hotels all linked into convenient apps (well, not so much the restaurants) such as Ctrip.
