Today in human geography we watched some more of the movie.
In the part that we watched today they mostly talked about cars. China puts
25,000 cars on the road a day, but the people living in China do not really
know how to use them yet. There are about 400 traffic accidents a day because
there are so many people trying to drive in an overcrowded road, most of the
people are just learning how to drive but they are not teenagers, they are
probably in their mid-30s, and before cars about four years ago the people of
China were using bikes to travel to where they needed to go. The city Jin Ch’ing
is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. A lot of the people living
here are poor and a lot need jobs, so there is a ton of manual labor for them
in order to make money, like people build bridges, roads, highways, and tunnels
but they only get a few dollars a day.
