The flat tire

Adam and Lo Ke changing the tire. I helped by snapping a photo

Driving in Guangzhou is a bit of an experience. There are traffic lights, painted lanes and turn signals, but the majority of the drivers here don't like to use them. While most of the time it just seems to work, most of the time there are horns being honked, lights flashed and an occasional diu (F' You).However, after all this, so far so good on the driving. Between taxi's, buses and our drivers, we have been surviving out on the streets. Of course though the one day we need to be somewhere, we get something completely rare on the steets of Gaungzhou -- a flat trire. L:iterally every road we travel on has a fresh layer on asphalt. However, yesterday on our way to the syncho swimming, we blew a tire on the brand new Honda SUV. Not exactly sure how, but it literally cost Getty Images photographer Adam Pretty some amazing photos. Adam had worked previously with the Chinese synchro team so they said he could shoot warmups from underneath the water. Even with the tire fiasco, we made the warmups by literally two minutes.
