@Me2:

Yes, I agree with you completely.

Rush hour is the best time for the shift change, because that's when demand for taxis is high.

Sarcasm doesn't exist in this country and the word logic didn't either until bastardized from englsih but CalMatt the shift change doesn't make sense at all. If it was a Rolling Shift Change like what would happen in places that upgrades things from time to time then that would make some sense but when you get told no by 8 taxi drivers in a span of 15 mins then once you get a taxi you see people at every corner trying to flag down a taxi at 7pm then something isn't right and are large portion of logic might be beneficial. but probably not.

Once again, logic flies out the window when you try to put the two words together..."Chinese" & "logic". It's as idiotic as "military intelligence".
I would be happy just to use a taxi that simply doesn't resemble a broken down dog house. Kunming must have the dirtiest taxis of anywhere in the world...no doubt!

Actually, the taxi shift change, while annoying, makes sense because the period around 5pm-8pm is the busiest of the day. As a result, all taxi drivers want a piece of this time frame, explaining the need for the shift change.

Aling....the "kissing" piece is wonderful. When I saw it you had only worked a bit on the faces. Congratulations on the upcoming exhibition.

actually, the 6:30 shift change idea was mine, i sarcastically suggested it back in the day when pullin tubes with the minister of roads and some taxi company bosses. then i said, 'hey, why don't you keep the taxi fleet the same size forever?'. didn't think they'd take me seriously. sorry.

The 6:30 driver change is possibly the most insane business practice on earth that could only be dreamed up by city officials/morons who's city only had growth in the last ten years. 'I got it, we'll change drivers at the busiest time of day, now I'm off to defecate in the bushes and dream up another brilliant scheme like adding no new taxis for ten years.' Beijing is trying to solve the problems of the 'backward southwest' but new massive construction projects only cause more situations like a deaf getting beneath a car.

We should cut these guys some slack. Nobody really appreciates how much work they have to do. In between beating up peddlers and tearing people's houses down they hardly have time to train "Little Chengguan" or chainsmoke cigarettes in their cars. Stop being so harsh on them. Who can honestly say that it wasn't a temporary worker who backed over that hoodlum?

Her artwork is very beautiful. This medium should probably be translated in English as "appliqué" or "cloth appliqué."

yes, I am coming from Tengchong. yes, heshun is a charming place. i am so concerned that one day heshun became a commercail place crowed by tourists. there would be a limit for the number of tourists.
