Spotted in my Morning Commute: A White Pikmin Car

Pikmin: a plant/animal hybrid helper from the Nintendo game series of the same name.  White Pikmin specialize in poison powers.

Beijing traffic can be tough.  I am lucky that I am able to take the bus into WAB with the girls. I try to sit a bit far away from them because I think the school bus is important social time for kids, and I try to stay out of the way. I put headphones in and watch the commute.

I love Nintendo games and the Pikmin series, to me, is part of the Top Three game series: Mario, Zelda, Pikmin.  The symbolism of a white Pikmin in the smog doesn’t escape me.
