Hello all,
I'm new to the boards and have a strange request. I am a researcher for National Geographic Magazine in Washington, DC. I am researching China's driving culture, and I'd love to receive insight about it from you.
These are some of the things I'm looking for:
1. Names that Chinese drivers call their cars. Is there a popular trend (names of animals, women's names, etc.)?
2. Any pop songs written about cars lately?
3. Rituals about cars? Trinkets people like to keep in their cars (sort of like air fresheners or things hanging from rearview mirror in US)?
4. Are there any surveys of drivers you can point me too?
5. Are attitudes towards bicycles and public transportation changing, as more people are able to buy their own cars?
6. Women's attitudes toward cars. Does anyone have a photo of the Geely Maple Haixuan?
Thank you very much for your help.
