    Speaking of shite driving, ever stop at a four-way stop sign intersection, and you think the chap on the other side of the road is going straight, and you start to move forward when the wanker makes a turn right in front of you without signalling, almost taking your front bumper with him?

    My brain hurt trying to visualise this until I realised that wer’e mirror image here in the uk.

    Lol! 🤣 Or "left in front of you". I'd rather roundabouts than stop signs.

    When I used to live in Egypt decades ago, the norm for dealing with a four-way intersection was to flash your lights, honk your horn, and floor the gas pedal, speeding through the intersection and hoping not to crash.

    😳 Yikes!

    Sounds like where I live. My last car was totaled by a guy who thought he could get through the intersection I was passing through (no stop sign on my side) by running his stop sign.

    🤦 Hopefully you got a hefty insurance payout mate. That guy was an idiot.

    I actually benefited from the fact that used car prices have been elevated, so the value of my car was more than I thought. Still, I’d rather have not gone through the process as it was painfully slow and I’m still fighting his insurance company for some expenses.

    Living in China, and having been here for years, I get a little bit annoyed when someone comments 'Oh, you know how to use chopsticks, wow', even when I've told them I've been here 10+ years. Or when I speak to someone in Chinese and they then ask me, 'Can you speak Chinese?' 😂

    But mostly it's the way people drive here. The more expensive the car, the less respect the driver has for pedestrians or cyclists, in general. And oh, this is a big one not a small one - the continuation of zero covid policy - which means I'm currently on 'soft lockdown' (allowed to go out for 2 hours a day, if you've had a negative covid test within 24 hours, curfew after 6pm) 😰

    The constant honking on the roads there is also pretty bonkers when you're not used to it.
    I hope you'll be able to get out a bit to celebrate mid-autumn festival coming up very soon. Man, I love Mooncake!! Got my boxes of Mooncakes ready here! 😛👌

    I have one more, playing guitar with a headphone annoys me a lot.

    Always the headphone and guitar cables are going everywhere, and they get twisted. Headphone cable get stuck on the strap lock sometimes, and then the headphone is getting pulled of my head. Or the cable touches the fretboard. I don't have a good solution yet. The Beyerdynamic headphone cable is curled, makes it even more complex.

    Other thing is that people in the house keep talking to me while I am busy, and I need to take off the headphone all the time. Makes me really crazy.

    I like to run my headphone cable up under the guitar strap on one side and wrap it around the strap with some slack and then run my guitar cable under and looped around my strap on the other side to plug in. Not perfect but much less stomping on a cable and jerking the cable out or yanking my headphones off my head. I know your pain though

    I just got a new Beyerdynamic pair and was quite pleased to see they changed this specific model to no longer use old curly.

    @Fingolfinzz, yes I should try that too, to separate the two cables and keep it out of the way. Would be nice if there is a wireless headphone that works with ultra fast transmission, like a wireless system for the guitar. Maybe using such a system for the guitar solves a part of the problem

    @AudioGus, straight one is much better, the curly one (for my DT250) is heavy too, sometimes my audio interface (Apogee Jam) or music player slides or drops from the table.

    Mid-Autumn festival is very definitely on hold. Not only has our lockdown been extended, but we're now only allowed to leave our compounds every other day, as opposed to being able to leave once a day, which was the policy until today. The lockdown keeps getting extended. The rules keep getting harsher. It's the boil the lobster in the pot slowly technique. I'm done with China. The sooner I can escape the better. This was a great place to live 10, even 5 years ago. And though they fucked up the initial response to the virus very badly, they did a great job after that. But now, it's time to let go. Zero covid is an unattaiable goal. Destroying small businesses, and even large ones, left and right. Omicron is too contagious but it's not very dangerous. It will become pandemic. The government says they will pursue this policy until 2025. But what's going to change? As soon as they open the borders, they'll have an influx of covid cases. It's all about the Party trying to a) deny its guilt in the initial spread, which was hugely related to local authorities not wanting to look bad in Xi's eyes b) continue to have lower cases than other countries c) maintain the illusion that the party is in control. d) most moon cakes suck - if you get a tasty one, you got very lucky 😂

    I say all this as someone who - mostly - loves China and Chinese people. I've been here a long time, speak the language, have many Chinese friends. But enough is enough. I genuinely fear our city will go through a lockdown similar to the 2-month lockdown in shanghai, which caused a lot of starvation and a huge amount of mental health issues. And hey if the shit really did hit the fan, I couldn't even start a gofundme, cos China is not on their list 😂

    One of my biggest pet peeve’s is when people do not use their blinker for changing lanes or making turns while driving. So much so that I’ve come to think it might be a somewhat accurate test of one’s character. Lol. Reason being it does almost nothing for you as the driver, makes it a bit safer, but it lets everyone around you know your intentions on the road. In a nutshell it shows your consideration for others, and All you have to do is flick a switch, or turn a knob, yet everytime I'm on the road I see it multiple times.

    Ever see the movie “Shoot ‘Em Up”? The main character (Clive Owens) has this same pet peeve.

I especially liked Shanghai for its modern attitude, and I even learned a little Shanghainese, which I used on the cab drivers there (they loved that).

It is decidedly slow for my taste and I was a bit astounded by those "Speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs showing a dive bomber (WTF), but the politeness, the attention to pedestrians etc. is remarkable to someone who's ever driven in, say, Turkey, or even Italy. 🙂 Your giant roads and lots of space help, too.

    I may just be lucky considering where in the US I have been driving so far (never been to the Carolinas, for instance), but I keep using the US as an example of a place where it is a lot easier to drive around than in most of Europe.
