Yesterday morning, Doug and I were watching the news and we saw a video of a woman walking down the sidewalk somewhere in China. She stepped on a manhole cover, it collapsed and she fell in. Not more than 6 hours later we watched a young man try it lift a manhole cover, slip on some gravel and manage to fall part way inside (one leg in and one leg out) and then drop the manhole cover on himself. I yelled, Doug ran to help but by the time he got there, the trapped man’s friend had already lifted the cover off of him. He didn’t seem to be hurt which was a relief to us all.
Not too long after that we saw a scooter accident. Luckily nobody was hurt. The majority of people here don’t wear helmets and it’s very common to see a family of 5 going by on a single scooter and not one of them in a helmet.
