The traffic in Shanghai was described to the U.S. team as “bumper cars at the birthday party of a seven-year-old” and that is about as good a description as you will get. Apparently, there are about 800 traffic accidents a day in Shanghai and the U.S. players and staff were told to proceed with caution when on the streets. You know that “pedestrian has the right of way” thing in California? That doesn’t fly in Shangahi. Words to the wise, when crossing streets, look both ways and move fast!

That's one of the reasons why there's so much pollution in China, too. Speaking of which, how is the team going to deal with the pollution and the soot that will inevitably build up in the lungs and throat? Will you be wearing oxygen masks when not training? Or staying indoors?
We are so proud of our team!! And glad to know they arrived safely.
Keep the blogs commin!
