BEIJING — I'm beginning to wonder about the signage in Beijing.

On the streets, road markings and walk/don't walk signs are more like suggestions. Drivers, bike-riders and walkers are all kind of on their own program, dodging as they see fit. it all works out from what I can tell. I haven't seen any near accidents.

In buildings, you'll find any number of recycling bins all over the place. But they're so undersized, they can't possibly fit the amount of recyclables that this kind of city and visiting crowd would likely produce. They're like show containers and people dump trash in them all the time.
