You know how in some countries people play fast and loose with the traffic laws? Well, actress Kelly Hu found out China is one of those countries in a recent trip. I've heard that driving the wrong way on the freeway isn't completely  unusual there apparently. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, when I traveled to Taiwan, did more than a little bobbing, weaving, and speeding in and out of freeway on-ramps (i.e. cutting off cars as they were trying to get onto the freeway) in getting us to our destination. To be fair, it was an isolated incident and the other taxi drivers were much, much more tame.

Apparently the Smart ForTwo car is the new telephone booth. Nineteen teenage girls in Pakistan packed themselves in the urban two-door people mover to set a new Guinness World Record . The record was previously held by a 18 girls in Australia. ( via The Express Tribune )
