Had the best day of my life yesterday, Almost got mugged in Jamestown, Ghana. A Muslim goat herder saw me and rescued me via his motorcycle. Ended up getting a free tour and dinner from him, true 12/10 experience. Thank you Hafiz for rescuing me!

Also visited the Kobylisy Shooting Range, where German forces executed hundreds of Czech patriots and resistance members during the Nazi occupation.

The violation was for “机动车通过有灯控路口时，不按所需行进方向

There are various ways to translate it, but basically the AI detected I was in a go straight lane and then detected my right turn. My friend who was in the car at the time told me that the violation is given when you illegally cross the solid white lane dividers.
Luckily I only got a fine, no points deducted. Illegal right turns are 3 points deducted, running a red light is 6 points, get 12 points in one year and you lose your license and have to go to driving school to get it back.

I never claimed I was innocent which is why I’m waiving my right to contest the ticket and paying it.
In China you are allowed to cross dashed white lines but not solid white lines. It also depends on each intersection as there are different cameras for different violations (speed, yielding to pedestrians, red lights, etc) and each camera is owned by a different department (public security bureau, traffic bureau, urban management bureau etc)

200 RMB is a lot for many Chinese workers. A taxi driver may need ~6 hours to earn that, one ticket can wipe out a day. Minimum wage is ~21 RMB/hour, so 200 RMB is roughly a full day’s work for a street sweeper or store clerk.

Merry Christmas! I had a great time listening to a govt approved pastor give a govt approved sermon at Jingling Church. Although the sermon was dry, it was awesome to worship in the same venue where Sun Yat Sen’s wife and father in law/revolutionary financier used to worship

At this Chinese clothing store, everything is on sale at 80-95% off but the prices are all 5-20x the normal price, so you just end up having to do non stop math while you shop to calculate the price 😂 I love the honesty it’s way funnier than American fake sales

The irony of the 24-hour registration rule in China: There are a million cameras tracking my every move, but the state still demands I fill out a paper form to tell them where I sleep.Since I'm with relatives in a smaller city I have to go to the Public Security Bureau. If you are in a large city you can register online, or if you are staying a hotel that accepts foreigners they register for you.

China is one of the few places where an International Driving Permit is invalid. Most city folk just take public transit or taxis, but I have a strong itch to roadtrip and drive some Chinese EVs so I’m spending my limited time navigating the Chinese DMV. I’ve survived the California DMV before so I should be fine, wish me luck!

Song Dynasty poet Su Shi criticized imperial policies and the emperor through his poetry. In 1079, officials accused him of “slandering the court” in the infamous Crow Terrace Poetry Trial, leading to exile. Ironically 1,000 years ago China could tolerate dissent better than many governments treat artists and critics today. Was amazing to see his work in person today in Taipei.

Not really, the lights are optimized for traffic and light lengths change depending on traffic levels.
The billions of cameras that use AI and facial recognition to track your every move is Orwellian.

2025-08-31 00:40:37 UTC

Chinese highways have cameras every couple of minutes that check if you are wearing your seatbelt, texting and driving, or speeding. They text you a ticket immediately if they detect a violation. They also upload your location to a database so they can track where you are. https://video.nostr.build/c65c62e60d23f98ab5ab1ca530826b9d6226be0210c1525c9355d8de796696b0.mp4

My greatest battle with my in laws are the AC settings. It's 40C (105F) outside with 75% humidity. They want the AC set to 25C (77F) and I want it set at 18C (65F). I'm currently in a suspended state where everything I do is 0.5x speed because it's too damn hot.
