NUMB3RS


Ever since we arrived in China, Kim and I have been wondering about these strange numbers that appear on abandon buildings and random walls all over the place. I found out recently what these were:

They are telephone numbers that people call in order obtain illegal documents; identification, driver's licenses, etc. Actually, that sort of explains all the terrible driving here.

Two mysteries solved!

I wondered about the exact same thing. Maybe the government doesn't care that much? They don't have too much of a problem with the illegal dvds, watches, etc...
