Sunday, November 19, 2006 - China moment Been busy with a major Chinese essay today, so won't have time to blog. Had a good weekend though - Beihai park, hutongs, Houhai, a play in the 798 art district, and China's nicest taxi driver - and pics and stories will be coming up soon. China moment (giving me a temporary break from my grueling essay): Person in stairway clearing throat, China-style. For those blissfully ignorant of this practice, it is thoroughly disgusting, done by everyone from teenagers to old ladies, and sounds like the person is trying to regurgitate a year's worth of food. I assume this was followed by liberal spitting, because that's the purpose of the throat-clearing. This was followed by (Same?) person in stairway blowing his nose (probably China-style, ie. without the use of tissues) This is something you really need to see to believe. Words cannot describe it. There shouldn't exist words to describe it. And you know what my reaction was? I chuckled in amusement. In about 8 months I'll be back in Sweden again, with no chance of experiencing these kind of public body fluidal expressions. China's awesome. =D |
i've come to learn that hacking up a lung as they do... is due to the A)pollution and B)smoking (first and second hand chain style)
the snot thing... okay so heres what makes it THAT much worse... so theres a months worth of greenish-black pheghm forced with such might that if i were to try this i would def blow a blood vessel incuring about an hours worth of holding my head back and waiting for the trickling and taste of blood to dissapate... EWK! where was i? oh FORCED in to the PALM of ones hand!!!! EEEEEEwwwwKKK! and then a flick of the wrist and volla thats personal hygene... *wreching-gag*
oh and you have to love random men peeing in public against walls such as dogs do... nice...
and the random turd... in the middle of a footpath... which looks distinctly human... :S!
wow 8mths! it seems like the blink of an eye... i cant believe it... it only seems like last month i was there visiting you...
HA! it was!
is it just me or did it seem like everyone in china owned these rat/cat sized dogs... like there are no proper sized hunting style dogs?
btw side note you might enjoy... kaha, troy and i are now partaking in agility training... and we played a competition game which is native to only scandinavia... as part of a warm up... its where person A walks the dog somewhere (up in to the forest) and then person B calls the dog, and it must come within set time, all dogs that dont make it get illimated meanwhile person A is re-hiding in a new position and then calls the dog agian... and so on and so forth... for fun in competition, they have guns going in the back ground...
oh and fyi my dog knows TIGA, which is sit up in swedish! yah my advanced agility trainer is swedish yah!
Ah, and to think you chastized me burping in a pub.
