5 months in China: I have an app for that

As a kid, I never got carsick in busses or cars. But as I get older, I find I get a sour stomach if I'm not in the front seat. Good thing I'm not that way here! Course it could be standing on a bus, moving around freely, even with all the sudden stops.

When I was waiting for the bus, I heard a fairly familiar wailing of a siren. I've not heard many ambulances, but no one moved over. Whether there just wasn't any room, they just don't, or couldn't hear it over the construction I don't know.

As a moving van drove by, the back was left open, on purpose so the people riding in the back wouldn't die of heat!

Saw the coolest thing go whizzing by when I was on the bus. All I can describe it as is an electric standing unicycle. I really wish I could've seen him stop and start.

Black n Tan, it's not to drink, it's the color of children's teeth. I finally got an app for brushing teeth and it goes much better. I love that floss picks are for kids too, they are really good about letting me floss their teeth.

Fashion update: It is okay to wear your fanny pack over one shoulder or like a sash. Men included. Men can wear bedazzzled shirts too. Sun umbrellas. In fact most skin care here has whitening agents in it.

So my mother-in-law takes me to a different market mall. Not cheap. We did see some stuff that I have either gotten at our haggler alley or at Qianmen. Everything was more money here until you got to the food court. Lots of dishes selling for 2 -5rmb. We picked a place that you pick 2 meats and 2 veggies plus rice for 15 rmb~$2.50! It was okay. But I'm sure the food court people work a lot harder than those working in the stores. It was amazing to see the quanities of food coming out of those tiny little kitchens.

What I did like about this market, is the staff wore their stores clothes, tags hanging out. I wonder if they forget to cut off the tags when they buy clothes?
