I only live five miles from work, so traffic isn't an issue any time of the day. :victory:

You are truly blessed!!! I know people who commute over 60 miles (one way) to work!! I had a 25 to 30 min (11 mile) commute all by street. It was pretty good but not as good as you!!!

Yeah, I had an officemate who commuted from Thousand Oaks to here in Torrance... Needless to say, he quit after about 16 months. :sweat:

Gotta go were the jobs are, unfortunately.

That's why my ex-officemate commuted out here... Once he found a job closer to home, he bolted.

No it's best you take it with a meal that has some fat in it...so take it with your highest fat meal for better absorption. It doesn't matter that you take it throughout the day, as far as I know.

Thanks for the post re RED cars. I really knew that they have them in Japan and have seen them in films and dramas. However, I was curiious about the China statement. Someone on another site ran some pictures of traffic on the road in China and there were a few red cars...but not many.
Don't think I would be able to drive in China. Do they have road rules? Seems to be like riding a bike ..just head where you want to go and don't look for anyone else.
I think mainly, the roads are fine however, and the cities are so modern and really beautiful on the whole. Lots of wonderful scenery out of the cities.

I did th eLaguna BEach to Hollywood commute when I lived there.
If I didnt leave by 2:30 the traffic was horrendous. And that was years ago. :sweat:

Nope.

I get into work about 6:15AM... That way, I can take care of some stuff before getting hassled by everyone to help them with their problems. :sweat:

OMG! So early! I wake up at 6:30am and roll into work around 7:45am. It's not that far from here. :beaten: First period starts at 8:15am so I have time to prep.

PEG!

Believe it or not, but the traffic in Italy is way worse than the traffic in China. The traffic in Pakistan is even 100 times worse than what I found in China.

Yes, it's very congested, but I only really noticed the hoards in Shanghai. There was too much smog in Beijing to notice anything else. lol :beaten:

The traffic gets confusing because of the cyclists. There are just as many cyclists on the road than cars, so you always have to watch out for them because they ride just about anywhere. It's the pedestrians who don't follow road etiquette. They walk through intersections whenever they feel like it, paying no attentional at all to the traffic signals.

Looks like all the trapped miners in Chile have been rescued. :victory:

Unbelievable!! You had some kind of stamina!!

Wynter,

If I were a pedestrian in China I would always be on the same side of the road. I would have to go around the block and never cross the road.

I had a friend who drove and once she frightened the life out of me because she could not make a left turn. I thought I would never get home in one piece. Never drove with her again. She would probably have been fine in Beijing because she drove the way the bicyclist ride...wherever she wanted to go....!

My husband never liked driving in Paris. I never had to do that. But he could negotiate all the NYC traffic OK. I once had to drive behind him from Connecticut to Pennsylvania. Never having done a long trip I was very nervous. I had him take our small son with him and I had my mother with me. I figured that if I was going to have a problem I'd rather take my mother with me than risk losing my son. Go figure that out. Who was the child there.....???

Sounds like most major US cities. :beaten:

Some of the speed limits around here really seem like speed traps.
