Q: Is it even possible to drive above the speed limit in Beijing?

With all the traffic that I have seen in Beijing it's like we are always going about 25 to 40 miles an hour the whole trip with frequent stops along the way. I've never been in a vehicle in Beijing or have seen a car drive above the speed limit or close to the speed limit for a long period of time. The roadways get to congested which causes cars to slow down significantly. Had the bus guy yelling out the bus the other day.

You can't drive (successfully) faster than the car in front of you.

DaBen:

Says you.... you forget, he's a fellow redneck... it's in our blood to be able to jack up an car. So with the right tires and suspension kit, you'd have no problems driving faster than the cars in front of you.

Well of course if you drive the Gravedigger or Bigfoot you can. Actually, there are days around here that I wish I could drive the gravedigger. I love that truck.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country.

I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ...
