14: The freeways in Shanghai are unbelievable. Elevated 30 feet in the air. 6-8 lanes, gracefully sculpted. Really beautiful.

Some of those new highways in China have collapsed and will probably continue to collapse. New appartment buildings in Shanghai have rolled over onto their sides. They have no safety or building standards. They don't even test their concrete to see if it meets "specs" ... which don't exist in China.

You can literally drill into Chinese concrete with a wood bit. I've worked projects there. I know what I'm talking about.
