CHINA



Fact --- I went to China.

***** Observations
No one... I mean no one in Yunnan Province speaks any English.

In an effort to eliminate diapers... children under 5 have crotchless pants and crotchless snow pants. Talk about chapped cheeks!

Chinese cab drivers are probably the most honest people I have met in Asia. (no sarcasm.. really they are)


Ashley makes pretty good train "chooo chooo" sounds and signs as well as airplane noises and charades.


Having white people in your photos is an awesome souvenir for Chinese vacationers. (FYI I totally do the peace sign with them)

The "Snot Rocket" is a totally acceptable practice on the streets of China.





There is a Chinese "Oprah". Same set, same couch, same hair. Yet the Chinese version of Oprah does not know that there is really a lady named Oprah.

Wikipedia is outlawed as is CNN (which it should be).



98% of travelers in China are there teaching English. 1% are going to Shangra-la and the last percent are trying to escape Bangladesh.
