In this episode, I share what it's really like to drive in one of the busiest cities in the world—Shanghai. From unpredictable scooters and endless honking to narrow alleyways and surprising moments of peace, I talk about the strange mix of chaos and rhythm that defines life behind the wheel here.

As someone who's lived in Shanghai for years, I’ve learned a lot—not just about traffic rules (or the lack of them)—but about patience, awareness, and how to stay calm when everything around you feels like it’s in fast-forward.

Whether you've driven in a big city, dream of visiting Shanghai, or just want to hear a personal story from the road, this one’s for you.
