Smell That? It’s Freedom.
I’m back from China. Pictures and video will follow once I get back to my own computer. For the time being, let me leave you with a brief synopsis and a teaser picture.
Chinese people spit a lot. Losing your tour group sucks. Products that are related to communism are always hot. In Shanghai, the ladies of the night work in clubs and bars, not streets. Buying squishy balls is awesome. No matter how enthusiastic you are, making up Chinese words will not aid communication. The air in Los Angeles is actually pretty clean. It’s not okay to just get a good deal when bargaining. You have to take the vendor’s soul too. Just because you live in China doesn’t mean you can’t still accidentally pee on your own leg. I like China, but America is still better. Burritos are even better after staying in China for a week.
I emailed my parents the first morning I was in China to let them know I arrived safely. Here was my mom’s response to me.
“Are you enjoying your ancestor’s homeland and relatives? Just be thankful your grandpa/ma got out, or that could be you!”

your mom’s funny.
that’s weird — it sounds like a “yo mama” joke, but i said it in all seriousness, but it’s about/in relation to a joke.
