_______________
On the way to Shanghai's best bootleg-DVD shop, something in our cab driver's mind comes unglued. Drag-racing through the permanent gridlock of the city's French Concession neighborhood, his foot digs for untapped rpms somewhere below the floorboard. He clearly has no regard for human life. We cut through mobs of Shanghainese commuters on bicycles and mopeds as I say my prayers to Jesus, Krishna, Allah, and Yahweh -- just to cover all my bases -- and spend the final moments of life regretting my request for a Chinese bootleg copy of Idiocracy.
