Thoughts on China so far:
- Men with shirts rolled up above their porky bellies
- Many, many, many different People Types
- People speaking far more loudly than strictly necessary for the distance between them
- Pirate Driving (lines on the road are more like guidelines than what you might call actual rules)
- Strong women, thick and sturdy get-shit-done'rs
- No sun and no blue sky and no individual fluffy clouds; almost every day is the same gray overcast sky, whether IT be nasty soul-eating smog or just misty cloud-cover is sometimes unintelligable, and always interchangeable
- The amazing overwhelming amount of English words on clothing; there is maybe a 98:2 ratio of English to Chinese characters that adorns EVERYONE'S clothes, most of which the average person apparently does not understand the meaning, so everyone walks around in ignorance of what they are advertising on their bodies.... A prime example (courtesy Chris Mandel) would be the innocent pre-teen girl wearing the t-shirt which proclaims her to be "Jailbait In Training"
