Sleeping on the job

Around the middle of the day, a lot of folk get tired here. It is surprising to us "foreigners" to see couches/beds or similar in the small shops and the shopkeeper sound asleep. Folk seem to fall asleep anywhere. (How I envy their ability to sleep on a plane - something that I never manage to do, but the Chinese people seem to be sound asleep before the plane takes off!)

I would think if this man parked his three wheeler on a pedestrian crossing in Australia, he'd be told to move on at least by the local constabulary, but here it is not an uncommon sight.

This photo was taken just one street away from main street in Shaoxing, and traffic and pedestrians continued regardless.
