Shut up

If you've never been to China, its one of the loudest places I have ever been.
Apparently the drivers they have to honk at all time to let everyone know where they are. Also, vendors on the street like to record themselves and play it repeatedly on a megaphone all freakin day. We have one of these guys who shows up promptly in front of our apt building at 8 am. Another 8 am wake up call is the construction crew on the floor above us who is hammering at all time with no end in sight. Now add a incredible dense population, all with cell phones, and people screaming to talk to person next to them.
To put it short, I never leave home without my ipod.
