what a month in China does to a Westerner

• I am now pushing an old Chinese women back.  she still ignores that she is  pushing me, into a crowd which is not moving.

• spitting every two minutes is healthy?  the men especially coat the sidewalks.  a man spits in an airplane on the floor.

• why wouldn't there be a cockroach under a sink?  all sinks have roaches.  see also the bed.

• if you're warm and a man, pull your shirt up just atop your round belly.  leave it hanging in the breeze like a sweaty invitation.  then go about your business as usual.

• not since America have so many people been convinced their's is the greatest country in the world. the evidence is, "everyone else wants to come here. look, you're here."

• not since America have so many reassured themselves of their happiness by flying flags.

• cities of car horns bopping and booping without pause, no one turns to see why.  it's an alternative to a car stereo.

• while in nature, always yell when you reach the top.

• play music from your mobile phone to drown out the nature.

• never, ever adjust the volume of your voice in public.  you are a car horn.
