SO FAR IN CHINA...

...I have seen...
More cars than I ever thought could fit on one roadway
I decided that since there are several BILLION people in this country
that everyone over the age of 4 has a license and isnt afraid to use it

And I have decided that driving is sport in which one decides exactly what the street signs and lights mean

Sometimes - the lights are RED and GREEN at the same time

I cant decide if it means - Go but maybe not - or stop if you want - but everyone else is going.




I have seen...
A man
on a bicycle
dragging behind him
2 large
PIG carcasses
I had ham with breakfast
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

I have seen...
Chinese Toilets
It's a hole
in the floor
toilet paper
optional
I'm not kidding
They actually do flush
Tho I'm not exactly sure of the point


Words I have learned:

Thank you - Se Se
Hello - Lei Ho Ma
Goodbye - Bye Bye (again, not kidding)
Ough Oy Lei - I Love You

You crack me up kiddo! I am thoroughly enjoying your play-by-play of the Far East... no joke, I actually spit out my Yogurt Burst Cheerios laughing at your stoplight description!

I heart you! Have fun and travel safe! :)

I have seen that toilet however it was in Morocco at a truck stop and the area around it was not that clean. I personally waited till I found something that resembled the porceline throne that I am familiar with.

Oh btw... 5 days and counting
