OiC - Only in China....

Walking to get a taxi this morning, I kept hearing a cat meowing...I wasn't near a restaurant, so couldn't figure it out...then I noticed something sticking out from a woman's handbag in front of me...
 
There was big news item over here about an explosion at Beijing Airport...I thought "Hell - even LONGER delays now!!" - but it was just a guy protesting about (alleged) Police brutality...he was in a wheelchair and held up a bomb...seems it only injured him (no-one else) and was more smoke than anything else...maybe he'd bought a 'fake' device from the 'fake' market...and instead of an atomic device, he got a soggy firework...the terminal was re-opened in less than an hour. A recent report says BJ airport is the WORST in the world for late flights - less than 18% of flights leave 'on time' (a 15 minute window either side of the published time) and over 45% end up as 'severely delayed'...further, in terms of overall service levels & customer satisfaction, 8 out of the 10 worst-ranked airlines in the world were Chinese!!And I fly from BJ and on internal flights almost every week!!!I deserve a medal or at least a good 'sorting' from a randy woman in a mac...
 
Finally, have a look at these video clips -
They are in-car camera clips shot in Russia - hell, I thought driving in China was bad, but there's some incredible footage in there...
