THE Lowly Peon


China Car Crash #4 
16 June 2010, 2:26am

About 100m from my home. We were in the taxi, turning left on a green light. Some guy in a fancy super expensive car (read: "more important than us") made a U-turn without looking and smashed into us. Our driver, cool local guy, said he hurt his head; I hurt my knee pretty bad. The fancy car guy (aka guilty party) got out of the car and started getting pissed at our driver. I said some nasty things to him, we paid our fair and asked if our cool driver needed anything, and took off. That makes the fourth crash I've been in in China, and probably the most serious.

Note: Hangzhou taxis are green, but i thought yellow made it more obvious. Also, dickhead's car was black, because everyone here with crazy expensive cars get them in black. Again, i feel red is more standard for fancy car. And it was a Lexus, not a muscle car like my oh so awesome drawing implies.

I should mention that this was Sunday, after watching the world cup at the local pub.

Also, I'm not sure why there's a black border on the bottom. I made that on my iPad, so maybe I cropped it badly. Meh.
