Hey there! Ni Hao! (which usually signals a post involving China, right?). How're you doing today? Great, I hope. Pour yourself a mug of Joe and massage a virtual treat or two onto your plate, why don't'cha? Speaking of China...
When authorities in Chongqing city realized that they’re
never going to be able put a stop to texting while walking, they decided
to go for minimizing the risk instead. So they set up a special lane
for pedestrians who are hopelessly addicted to their mobile phones.
The lane was created on Foreigner Street – a tourist
hot-spot in Chongqing – in order to reduce collisions. So the sidewalk
is basically divided into two halves – one labeled ‘cell phones, walk at
your own risk’ and the other marked ‘no cell phones’.
Do you text while walking? Me? Never. On the rare occasion when I absolutely need to text something, it can still wait till I can sit down in a Tims, order myself a nice Dark Roast...or more likely a decaf with a hazelnut shot in it, and then get on with the text. But, it was bound to happen. Tokyo will be next, I expect.
There's a billboard here in Cornwall that says, "DON'T GET CAUGHT IN-TEXT-ICATED!"
See ya, eh!
