Things to Remember from Hangzhou
- Ripping my hands open from carrying my luggage through 北京站 and 杭州站 ; I’ll remember to pack lighter and bring a rolling suitcase next time.
- Fighting for my life each morning on the bus
- Eating 包子, 饺子, and 馒头 for breakfast
- Afternoon naps at work… I was made for China
- Flushing poo manually… poo, fill up bucket and swish!!
- While we’re talking about poo… mastering the squat; It’s an acquired skill; I’ve learned that you need to get low enough that you are in a squatting position (this is to ease the flow of the poo), but high enough to avoid any unecessary physical encounters with the toilet (mind you, the toilet probably has many forms of disease)
- Riding on back of motorcycles
- Singing 北京欢迎你 at KTV
- Eating dinner in the alleyway restuarant without a shirt (Local status)
- Doing laundry 3 times and having it rained on 3 times
- Being called “Xiao Liang” in the office… I’m told it’s an endearing term
