Here’s the thing about China....

There are no traffic laws. None. At. All.

While in a crowded restaurant, men have to smoke before, during and after their meal. They also smoke in crowded elevators and in hospital waiting rooms

Corn is in everything….. icecream, on pizza, in hamburgers

Everyone picks their nose in public. Men spit in public. Everywhere. And it’s not rude at all.

They spit on the floor of restaurants and on the buses.

Chinese drivers honk their horn CONSTANTLY. You can’t be near a street without hearing the constant sound of honking.

Guys grow their fingernails as long as possible.

Chinese people do a lot of home improvement projects in the middle of the night. Nearly every single day we’re woken up by hammering, drilling and jack hammering that lasts for an hour. It usually happens around 1:00am or 6:00/7:00am.

All the Chinese people that we know HAVE TO eat breakfast immediately after they wake up, lunch at exactly noon and dinner at exactly 5:00.

Chinese children pee and poop everywhere. They just squat down. ..on the bus, in the grocery store, everywhere outside – it’s crazy

If you ask a Chinese person about SARS, they’ll tell you that it’s the foreigners’ faults

Chinese fashion is a constant source of entertainment. It’s beyond Tacky. Girls AND GUYS love cloths that are covered in a combination of sequins, rhinestones, giant bows and glued-on stuffed animals. Girls wear super, super, super short skirts but NEVER show even a tiny bit of cleavage. I see butt cheeks (covered in granny panties) every day but I’ve never seen a skin below a girl’s neck. Girls also like wearing socks OVER their panty hose while wearing high heals. And guys always wear white socks with their black/blue suits. At the beach, women wear giant, saggy, one piece swimsuites from the 1940's while men wear tight speedos

The pollution is way worse than you're imagining. I have black buggers every day (which I do pick and show to brandon). It's so bad that we have to hang our laundry inside (no dryers) rather than outside because after 12 hours of hanging outside, it's dirtier than before it was washed!!
