The traffic is terrible and often too hard to grab a taxi. Other than the occasional jaunt down Shiquan Jie to the Shamrock or to buy games for the Wii I have nearly everything we need here. The other side of the lake however is a different story but i'm positive in 2 or 3 years we will be talking about downtown as the old town. I seldom venture downtown.

A couple weekends back I finally took a drive around JinJi Hu (as part of a wedding party) and was amazed at how much development was way out in what is essentially the middle of no where. It's virtually impossible to even consider living out on the far side of the lake without a car - that far out and the downtown becomes a whole other city... SND, a different province.
