2. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
3. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">About a year
4. ago my husband and I decided to take a babymoon to Hangzhou and Shanghai. Yes,
5. babymoon is a real thing where expecting couples take one last vacation
6. together before the baby comes. Genius idea that I wish I could take credit
7. for. I was bummed because I was too pregnant to fly back to the US like I had
8. planned but figured a 3 hour flight to Shanghai was safer than an 18 hour
9. flight the DC! Surprisingly, after 7 years living in China I had still never
10. been to 2 of the major tourist attractions, West Lake or the Shanghai Bund. We
11. decided to spend a few days in each city and take a bus between the two.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>West Lake was beautiful but the main
12. attraction of walking around the beautiful scenery in the heat and rain was not
13. a good match for my wobbling state; especially with my pregnant bladder and
14. distance and numerous stairs between each public bathroom. </span></div>
15. <br />
16. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
17. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">We arrived
18. in Shanghai after what seemed like forever on the bumpy bus and I was so glad
19. to be back in a major city. We booked a hotel online and found that the metro could
20. take us within walking distance. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">However,
21. this idea of walking-distance seems to have a very different meaning in China
22. then my definition of 10-15mins walking tops</b>. 30 minutes after wondering
23. around outside the metro and asking directions from shop keepers at each
24. intersection, we were completely lost. Daniel called ahead to the hotel for
25. more accurate directions only to learn we had gotten off at the wrong metro
26. stop. However, we were still “walking distance” from the hotel according to
27. these new directions so we continued lunging our suitcase around the city. </span></div>
28. <br />
29. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
30. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">By the time
31. we finally got there we were completely exhausted and you guessed it, I had to
32. pee! We go to the counter to check in and the clerk waves her hand in my face
33. with a sharp, “No!” and goes back to whatever she was doing. My husband goes on
34. to explain that we have a reservation for 3 days pulling up the ticket on his
35. phone. She glances at me quickly and then says to Daniel in Chinese, “You can
36. stay, but your friend is not allowed.” <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">She
37. waves her hand in my face again, “No foreigners!”</b> I couldn’t hold my temper
38. and wave my wedding ring in her face, “Not Foreign friend, WIFE!” To which
39. Daniel committed the cardinal sin everyone knows is the universal worst thing
40. you can do to an angry woman, He apologized for me. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I quickly switched to English and unleashed a
41. string of tongue lashings any sailor would blush at. After which my pregnancy
42. hormones switched to pending water works and I agreed to go sit down. </span></div>
43. <br />
44. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
45. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">This crap
46. hotel didn’t have a single chair, only a goldfish pond which I squatted on the
47. ledge of to somewhat relax. My husband went around in circles with the clerk
48. trying to make sense of the situation. I knew the hotels are required to register
49. any foreigner who stays there, but what I didn’t know is that the hotel must
50. have a license to do so. Many of the budget hotels are either denied this license
51. or don’t want to pay the application fee and therefore cannot have foreign guests.
52. </span></div>
53. <br />
54. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
55. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“Ok, fine.
56. Give us our money back.”</span></div>
57. <br />
58. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
59. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No.”</span></div>
60. <br />
61. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
62. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No? If I
63. can’t stay with my wife, I’m not paying for the room.”</span></div>
64. <br />
65. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
66. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No. It was
67. in the fine print, ask the online agency.”</span></div>
68. <br />
69. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
70. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“Fine. Let
71. me in the room and we will relax a bit and book another hotel.”</span></div>
72. <br />
73. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
74. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No. Your
75. friend can’t go in”</span></div>
76. <br />
77. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
78. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“Open the
79. room in my name, she won’t stay here we just need to search for another hotel.”</span></div>
80. <br />
81. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
82. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No.”</span></div>
83. <br />
84. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
85. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“I’m paying for the room. Just let us
86. in, she’s pregnant for God’s sake.”</span></b></div>
87. <br />
88. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
89. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">“No.”</span></div>
90. <br />
91. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
92. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">I pipe up
93. and say, “We are paying $300 at least let me use the dang bathroom! You let me
94. pee in a toilet or I will use this pond! I’m serious! I have to pee!”</span></div>
95. <br />
96. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
97. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">This got me
98. escorted by security through the forbidden door, passed the hotel rooms, and
99. into the janitors closet were I was finally allowed to use the bathroom<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">! I had never in my life been treated like
100. a criminal or even an undesirable</b>. I couldn’t hold back the tears, angry
101. tears and then frustrated tears<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>not
102. having the language to tell her exactly where she could stick that hotel key!
103. And then the most overwhelming and honest tears of an outsider, that didn’t
104. belong and never would. </span></div>
105. <br />
106. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
107. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">On the same
108. street there were 10 other hotels so luckily we didn’t have to search far for
109. another place to stay. The hotel next door waved us away with, “No Foreigners!”
110. before we can ask the question. Part of me felt relieved by this second denial,
111. Asif this was justification that this was a rule nothing against me personally.
112. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
113. <br />
114. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
115. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Finally, my husband decided it was
116. better for him to go in alone and ask about a room while I wait out in the
117. street</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">. We had used
118. this technique before for any negotiable item as seeing a foreigner usually
119. jacked up the price. Somehow this time felt different. I’d like to blame the
120. pregnancy hormones but this feeling or fear of being an outsider is one of the
121. struggles of living abroad. However, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">this
122. was the first time I was ashamed to be foreign</b>. Hiking up the price based
123. on my face is annoying but actually shows a positive image of foreigners. I am
124. white so I must be rich and they can make more money off me.</span></div>
125. <br />
126. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
127. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">I remember
128. one Christmas eve a group of friends were trying to get into a club and
129. everywhere was packed or had a high cover charge. After several failed
130. attempts, one of the guys came up with a plan that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we should arrange ourselves in boy girl order with the foreigners
131. upfront so the bouncers would let us in</b>. It seemed wrong then too, but the
132. wrong was in my favor so I didn’t mind as much. </span></div>
133. <br />
134. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
135. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">We finally
136. found a place to stay after 9 “no foreigner” hotels. We I vented to my other foreigner
137. friends living in China they confirmed that several places have restrictions
138. for foreigners. Our guess is the city doesn’t want foreigner tourists staying
139. in the cheaper hotels because it gives a negative image of China. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I also realize how lucky I am to live in
140. Shenzhen with a lot of western influences and less controlling government. I
141. still get the stares and rude comments here, but not nearly as often as my
142. travels in Hongzhou and Shanghai. I am also told Shanghai locals may look down
143. on my husband as well, having an elitist attitude even among other Chinese. Should
144. it make me feel better that they look down on everyone and not just me? The
145. skyline was breathtaking but not enough to make me want to visit again. But I definitely
146. learned to look for the passport restrictions for future travels.</span><br />

151. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
152. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0in;">
153. <span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">These things may not make the
154. thanksgiving list of the average American, but they are definitely on my lips
155. every time I come home for a visit. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
156. things I comment on missing seem to be strange to my friends and family, who
157. then roll their eyes at yet another story beginning with, "where I live in
158. China..."</span></span></div>
159. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0in;">
160. <span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;"></span></span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">Nevertheless here are some simple
161. joys my life in China has made me love in my homeland.</span></span><br />
162. <br />
163. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">1.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">  </span></span></span></b><span style="margin: 0px;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">Hot sink water</span></b></span></div>
164. </div>
165. <span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">Washing your hands in cold water
166. during the winter makes the surprise of warm tap water all the more delightful.
167. This comfort would be seen as a wasteful luxury in China where most homes have
168. only one water heater for the shower and even that is only turned on 10 minutes
169. before you hop in the shower, and then switched off immediately after.</span></span><br />
170. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0in;">
171. <br /></div>
172. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">2.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">  </span></span></span></b><span style="margin: 0px;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">Outside air</span></b></span><br />
173. <span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
174. <span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">I have noticed the difference in air
175. quality moving around the US between city and country, but even the big city
176. air seems glorious compared to China. Not to say that all of China has the
177. pollution problems of Beijing but I have been places that require a mask to
178. walk outside. In south east China the air is a sticky mix of humidity and

238. off shower area. Small bathrooms often have you showering over the toilet,
239. sounds rough but you get used to it. The part that I have trouble with is the bathroom
240. floor gets soaked and stays soaked for a while in the humid air. Walking into a

250. toilet paper down on the dinner table. In China tissues napkins and toilet
251. paper are all seen as just paper with no distinction of use. I don’t think much

269. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A fish can love a bird, but </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">where will they live?"</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The phrase always seemed silly to me
270. until I faced the idea of being a life-long foreigner. The current political
271. climate of USA and China have often brought this question up for my husband and
272. I, especially now that we have a daughter who will be forced to choose which
273. citizenship she will claim and which she will renounce. My husband recently
274. said, "If China goes to war we can always move to Pakistan, they are good
275. friends with China!" I laughed out loud that that would be the last place
276. I would be accepted as an American. I joked back, "Japan is friends with
277. America. Do you want to live there?"</span></span></div>
278. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0in;">
279. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we first decided to get married I asked a couple from our
280. church here in China to give us some advice in lieu of the premarital counselling
281. required for church weddings in the West. Instead of the standard church advice,
282. they focused on dealing with cultural differences. The husband was American and
283. the wife was from England, now both living in China.  The couple shared
284. that living in China was the best thing to happen for their marriage because
285. this was the first place to feel like home for them. Living in the US, the wife
286. was constantly mocked for her English accent and then when they went back to
287. England people said she sounded like a Yankee!</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> China became their middle ground, where they were both foreigners!</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 
288. I had never imaged that two foreigners both from English speaking, western countries
289. would still have culture clash. I guess that statement shows how China has skewed
290. my categories for western Vs Eastern.</span></span></div>
291. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0in;">
292. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The division between nationalities is very clear in China. The
293. word for foreigners in Chinese literally translates as outsider, Waiguoren. The
294. word is also in keeping with the general attitudes of the people; Us vs them.
295. The problem I run into 7 years, and husband and daughter into my stay in China
296. is that the term doesn't change for my situation. My first trip to China as a
297. tourist or even my first job where I expected to stay for one year the title of
298. “outsider” didn't bother me. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calling a
299. tourist an outsider seems fitting, but as a self-proclaimed "lifer"
300. when can I level up? </span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my first year I learned only basic Chinese and my
301. interest in the culture and locals was purely selfish, I wanted to get the most
302. out of my one in a life time experience. China had so much to give and I took
303. in all I could. </span></span></div>
304. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0in;">
305. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But since then, I fell in love with China , the excitement and
306. the challenge. I extended my work contract another year and then another. I
307. became close friends with locals and even married one of my Chinese friends. I
308. immersed myself in the culture, got a Chinese tutor, celebrated holidays in the
309. countryside with my in laws (</span><a href="http://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2012/10/guilin-wasps-fire-cupping-and-crowds.html"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">read
310. about it here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">).</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found that after working to connect with
311. China, I no longer connected to tourists or other foreigners living in the foreign
312. sections of the city.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After having my daughter I felt even more separated
313. from the expat community. I always stood out in the mom playgroups with my
314. "Chinese" baby. This is when I began to reject the label as,
315. "outsider." </span></span></div>
316. <div style="background: rgb(244, 244, 247); border-image: none; border: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0in;">
317. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I quit my job not long after my daughter was born and faced
318. another challenge of how to legally stay in China. I had been married 4 year
319. yet the process to receive and spousal visa was a nightmare. Now that I am on
320. the spousal visa I found I am only allowed to live in my husband's hometown providence
321. and I am not eligible to work. The typical advice I received was to get a
322. tourist visa and cross into Hong Kong every 30 days, but don't miscount because
323. if you overstay you could get deported and blacklisted from Chinese visas in
324. the future! I have worked here for 7 years! </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My life is here now, my family is here.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been trusted to teach English to over 6,000 students on the
325. topics of my choice, but I am not welcome to stay in the country for more than
326. 30 days?</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It doesn't seem right. I have created my own term for myself as a
327. lifer or another friend suggested survivor but neither have caught on. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To China I am an outsider, forever foreign.

330. <span style="color: #26282a; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My father in law came to live with us and help take care of the
331. baby, as part of Chinese tradition. Yeye is wonderful and will take the baby
332. around the neighborhood with a group of other grandparents and babies. On my
333. way home I often light up when I see my little girl unexpectedly and cannot
334. help but run up and kiss her. Of course everyway stares and Yeye always gets a lot
335. of questions, but she is my baby and I don’t care. However, the other day I
336. heard someone say to Yeye, </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh,
337. your baby is a foreigner!? She is not Chinese!" </span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeye laughed polite
338. and explained the baby's dad is Chinese and I am the mother. I don't know
339. exactly how to explain how I felt hearing those words, but it hurt. She is only
340. 8 months old, wherever we go and whatever we do she will always be foreign.</span></span><span style="color: #26282a; display: none; margin: 0px;">Your

344.  
345. <br />
346. <div style="margin: 0px;">
347. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not long ago I got this
348. text from my husband, "My sister called, she's at our house. My dad let
349. her in." I was automatically filled with questions; </span></span></div>
350. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
351. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know she was
352. coming?</span></span><br />
353.  
354.  
355. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How long is she staying?</span></span><br />
356.  
357.  
358. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did she bring the kids? </span></span><br />
359.  
360. <span style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is everything ok?</span></span><br />
361.  
362.  
363. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
364. <div style="margin: 0px;">
365. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His answer, "I
366. didn't know and I don't know." As if that would satisfy my unrest!</span></span></div>
367. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
368. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
369.  
370. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
371. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
372. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I like my sister in law, Meimei, she is probably my favorite
373. of the in laws. She makes an effort to speak to me directly even though my
374. Chinese is not good enough to keep up with the group conversation. She is kind
375. and playful. Her 2 children are sweet to me and mostly well behaved. I enjoy
376. her visits but cannot understand why she would show up unannounced when it
377. takes at least 4 hours to travel here! And she is a repeat offender. </span></span></div>
378. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
379.  
380. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
381. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
382. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most intrusive occasion was when my daughter was less than a
383. month old and Meimei called from the bus, announcing she and her 2 small
384. children were on the way. I was struggling with post-partum as well as the challenge
385. of figuring out how to take care of this fussy newborn. Honestly, I was just not
386. up for any visitors, especially germy little kid hands around my apartment and
387. tiny baby. I was in tears pressing my husband to tell her not to come. He
388. replied that in China you cannot refuse your family, especially if they are
389. already on the way. The inconvenience of your immediate family is temporary.</span></span></div>
390. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
391.  
392. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
393. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
394. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was, of course, furious and panicking in my already fragile
395. state, but after many tears and some distance from the situation I can see my
396. husband's point of view. I don't like it, but I see it. This is one of many cultural
397. issues we face as a WWAM couple. In China your loyalty and sacrifice to your family
398. is absolute and forever. When they say, “my home is your home” they actually
399. mean it! My husband refers to his parent's house in the countryside as
400. "our hometown house". And when we arrive he immediately starts
401. cleaning, moving furniture and actually making himself at home. </span></span></div>
402. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
403.  
404. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the occasion I referred to earlier of Meimei showing up at
405. our door, I came home from work to find she had started a load of laundry (mine
406. clothes and hers together) and was in the kitchen making us dinner. My husband
407. could not understand my stifled rage at someone, "taking such good care of
408. us."  And in hindsight I will agree that clean clothes and a home
409. cooked meal does seem like a kindness.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 
410. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meimei would never have thought of the fact that I would be
411. uncomfortable with someone touching my dirty clothes or that I had something
412. planned for the food in my cabinets; she was trying to be helpful. In this way,
413. privacy and personal space are not expected nor respected in the Chinese
414. culture. </span></span></div>
415. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
416.  
417. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
418. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
419. <span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, the rule does work both ways. Meimei has an investment
420. property in another city and there have been several times my husband and I
421. have stayed in her apartment while she is in her rented apartment. My husband has
422. a key to the house and also keys to the motorcycle both of which we are free to
423. use anytime without asking permission. I often press him to just stay in a
424. hotel because I don't want to feel like we are taking advantage of Meimei.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">  </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe if I am being honest, I don’t want to
425. be indebted to her. His compromise is to buy something for the empty house both
426. to make our stay more comfortable and also to help furnish the home for the
427. future. Can you imagine giving someone a spare key to your home? That is truly living
428. up to the saying, “make yourself at home.”</span></span></div>
429. <div style="background: #F4F4F7; border-bottom: solid #F1F1F5 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #F1F1F5 .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;">
430.  
431. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
432. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
433. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
434. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While my writing
435. may seem to suggest I have accepted this cultural difference, the battle and
436. culture clash continue. The phrase “used to” is a tricky one; I am used to unexpected
437. house guests because it is a repeat event but I am not so used to that it no
438. longer bothers me. </span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t think I will
439. ever be ok with something that has been ingrained in me as an invasion of
440. privacy and lack of respect. I can accept that it is not meant to be rude and
441. is a common practice in Chinese culture but it is still and intrusion for me. Suffering
442. this cultural conflict in silence makes me feel like an outsider in my own home
443. and my own family. </span></span></div>
444. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
445. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
446. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But again I look
447. at my own culture and wonder is it better to take advantage of people
448. hospitality or offer words of hospitality expecting people to know better than
449. to accept your words as sincere?</span></span></div>
450. &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/feeds/4153523632711977274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2017/07/make-yourself-at-home-but-dont-touch.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/4153523632711977274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/4153523632711977274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2017/07/make-yourself-at-home-but-dont-touch.html' title='Make yourself at home, but don&#39;t touch anything'/><author><name>Christy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02315749540454719749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//4.bp.blogspot.com/_zleHPqdx1N4/TC0iBRcnt4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/4WQcqxf-huE/S220-s113/CHINA!+086.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814455066681764975.post-8830819397353275160</id><published>2017-07-17T02:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2017-07-17T06:05:46.842-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="American culture"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chinese culture"/><title type='text'>Disadvantages to Privilege</title><content type='html'>
451.  
452. <br />
453. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
454. Now that I am a mother of a half American half Chinese baby
455. I often wonder how the world will view her.<span style="margin: 0px;"> 
456. </span>Will her diverse background be a benefit or obstacle for her?<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>As a white female living as a foreigner in
457. China, I imagine Chinese will treat her much like they have treated me. As a
458. foreigner my pale skin and light hair are seen as beautiful, along with my high
459. status as an American I often receive special treatment. I have been invited to
460. banquets and fancy business parties, regardless of my position in the company.
461. I have been referred to as the “foreign friend” at weddings and given a seat of
462. honor or asked to speak or sing, although I may not even know the bride or
463. groom. Strangers continually ask to take their picture with me or their
464. children. </div>
465. <br />
466. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
467. My English level is seen as superior based not on my
468. education or background but rather from my skin color. As the foreign teacher
469. in public schools, senior local teacher will ask me for advice in how to teach
470. or correct a grammar point. Asif my foreignness gives me authority over their
471. degrees and years of experience. I have also received numerous job offers from
472. strangers to teach their children or coworkers. I advise students and edit
473. their college essays to Ivy League schools I could never dream of attending.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>Once I was hired to attend a panel where I
474. would not speak but sit with the company to give the appearance of a diverse
475. staff. </div>
476. <br />
477. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
478. My Chinese level as a foreigner, no matter how low, is also
479. seen as impressive. “Ni Hao” or “Xie xie” will often earn the standard reply
480. of, “Wow! Your Chinese is so good!”<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>This
481. has been an enormous benefit to me when I first arrived in China and I greatly
482. appreciated that I was not expected to have mastered their language. Many
483. people would communicate with me through charade-style gestures and even take
484. over simple tasks for me. Such as going through the voice prompts on a
485. helpline, serving my plate, and exempting me from security checks. </div>
486. <br />
487. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
488. As my Chinese level improved, <b>what was once a benefit has
489. become an obstacle</b>. My words or opinions are often not heard as the focus is on
490. my Chinese level.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>The conversation goes
491. off into a tangent of, “Where did you learn Chinese? How can you possible
492. understand our superior language as a foreigner?” This genuine surprise and
493. interest negates any point I was trying to make, despite my language skills.
494. This tangent occurs at stores for daily tasks as well as among friends and work.
495. I am often ignored because it seems my appearance drowns out my words. </div>
496. <br />
497. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
498. I can make a parallel to my experience as a woman. There was
499. a time I rejected the fight for equality stating that<i><b> I liked the privilege I
500. found from being a woman</b></i>. I appreciated men holding doors for me, offering to
501. carry heavy items, or take care of manly jobs around the house. But just as I
502. realized my foreign privilege in China actually came with disadvantages, being
503. a woman in America also has disadvantages.</div>
504. <br />
505. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
506. As a student I was often in competition with other girls in
507. sports and in music. My competition in academics seemed equal between the sexes
508. but when I graduated and entered the workforce it became clear that the sexes
509. were not equal. Being told you are beautiful seems like a complement, but in a
510. job interview or in the middle of a debate it becomes an obstacle. My face
511. seems to drown out my words. I am seen as a woman or girl before I am seen as a
512. colleague or peer. The kindness I once saw in a gentlemen taking care of me or
513. doing the heavy lifting, now makes me seem weak and belittled. As a new mom I
514. realize a young woman in the workforce is seen as a liability rather than an
515. asset. The laws that are in place to protect women, such as maternity leave,
516. actually work against us. </div>
517. <br />
518. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
519. I was appalled at the audacity of my previous company in
520. response to hearing I was pregnant that they, “Would not renew my contract if I
521. was pregnant because it cost the company a lot of money.”<b> I told myself that
522. this would never happen in America, but I honestly don’t know that that is
523. true</b>. An American company would never say that, but I have heard many stories
524. of companies finding loopholes or excuses to avoid paying benefits. Even with
525. the law on my side the company knew that my threat to sue was an empty threat.
526. The time and resources needed to go through the justice system would be too
527. taxing on a new mother.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>I stifled my
528. emotions knowing any display of emotion would negate any of my previous
529. statements; being written off as a hormonal woman not meaning what I say.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>I worked through morning sickness, ignored my
530. exhausted body trying to prove that I could perform at the same level as before
531. the pregnancy. All the while I was looked at under the microscope, everyone
532. waiting for me to fail. I am seen as uncaring if I return back to work after
533. having my baby yet seen as unambitious if I want to stay home. Society pounds
534. women with pressure and judgement no matter what we decide. </div>
535. <br />
536. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
537. The privilege of being a foreigner in china with admirable
538. features somehow gives others the perceived right to stare or comment on my
539. looks.<b> My being in their country makes me some sort of exhibit my western
540. manners coax me to oblige.</b> Strangers will comment that I am so fat, my nose is
541. so pointy, my arms are so hairy. Stare me down relentlessly, boldly pointing
542. and encouraging others to confirm their findings. I often wish I didn’t know
543. the language well enough to understand my boss or coworkers talking about me
544. and commenting on my body while their higher position keeps me silent.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>Again, I blame the culture telling myself
545. this rudeness would never occur in more socially conscious, politically correct
546. country like America. </div>
547. <br />
548. <div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
549. <b>Which is worse; for someone to blatantly display their thoughts
550. or to mask that same feeling with back handed complements so common in my
551. culture?</b> I have also smiled politely at social gatherings when an elder would give
552. me unsolicited “complements”.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span>For
553. example the ever so helpful, “you’d be so pretty if you’d only…” It is
554. un-lady-like to push someone’s hand away or leave an uncomfortable conversation
555. without an excuse.<span style="margin: 0px;">  </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My manners and my privilege trap me in these unwinnable
556. situations.</div>
557. <br />
558. <h4 style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
559. I realize these are generalizations and just one person’s

568. <span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Not long after I came to China I
569. realized that what I considered fighting was actually part of Chinese
570. hospitality. People would publicly argue over who paid the bill at restaurants,
571. escalating to pushing and pinning each other's hands down. Aside from the
572. forcefulness that we wouldn't consider polite in the West, winning meant you </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">get</span></b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> to pay for the meal. Whereas bets
573. in the West always state that the </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">loser</span></b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">
574. pays. </span></span></div>
575. <div style="margin: 0px;">
576. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br />
577. In China it seems paying for others shows your position, being able to take
578. care of others makes you appear more financial stable and respectable. Allowing
579. someone to pay for you without a fight can make you seem either greedy or as if
580. you accept this lower position in the relationship. </span></div>
581. <span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: black;"></span><br />
582. <div style="margin: 0px;">
583. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br />
584. In the US, I would not allow my guy friends to pay for me when hung out. To do
585. so would make the outing seem like a date and I may feel indebted to the guy.
586. But in China it is not even an argument; the man is always expected to pay. If
587. a woman tried to pay for her male friend it would be a major blow to the man's
588. ego. I’ve also been in teacher groups where at the end of the meal the men
589. decided to split the bill but specify each woman should pay a set price and the
590. men in the group will pay a higher price, for example if the bill is 75rmb each
591. split evenly the group will announce the men pay 100 and the women pay 50.</span></div>
592. <span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: black;"></span><br />
593. <div style="margin: 0px;">
594. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br />
595. Age also comes into play as the elder person in the relationship is in a higher
596. position and should pay from the younger. This can be a complicated situation
597. with adult children. The children are old enough to take care of their older
598. family members but still seen by the elders as a child. Or another aspect could
599. be that the elders see accepting payment by someone younger as if they are admitting
600. they are growing old. <br />
601. These are my understandings based on the instances I've experienced and of course
602. these are generalizations and every situation is different. The Chinese new
603. year preparation has provided me with several prime examples, two of which I
604. will share here.</span></div>

607. A neighbor came to visit my Chinese family during supper time and a small
608. struggle ensued to persuade him to stay and eat with us. The neighbor refused
609. and started to walk away but was pulled back by a firm tug on his arm by my bother
610. in law. This refusal seemed to be very slight and just a form of manners as
611. both men were about the same age and economic level. Later after the meal the
612. neighbor started to leave again as my father in law brought out some wine and cigarettes.
613. At this the neighbor began to fight more forceful to refuse. My father in law’s
614. sense of hospitality and pride is very strong even though he himself lives a
615. rather humble life. My father in law physically blocked the neighbor from leaving
616. including pushing, forcing him back into him chair, and finally holding him
617. down by his shoulders. I was shocked to see the seemingly fragile man fight
618. with so much force.</span></h2>
619. <div>
620. <span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: black;"></span><br /></div>
621. <div>
622. <b><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: x-small;"></span></b><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>

624. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br />
625. Another example was with my husband’s aunt who had prepared a hongbao, “Lucky
626. money,” for us although we hadn't expected it and weren't prepared to give her
627. anything in exchange. My husband is usually a very quiet and calm man, but this
628. situation was one of the few times I have ever heard him raise his voice! He
629. caught her wrists and forced them back. She fought just as hard and the second
630. he released one hand she sneakily threw the hongbao in his shirt pocket. After
631. some verbal rebuttal he slipped the package back into her apron and instructed
632. me to “run away!” The entire walk down the driveway our aunt continued shouting
633. from the door step while my husband called back and both ending in laughter. <br />
634. When I asked my husband to explain why he was so harsh with his aunt he replied
635. rather simply, "I'm good to her, this is China!" As foreigners
636. looking in we can only smile, and sometimes shake our heads.</span></h3>

645. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">After being in China and getting
646. used to what I originally called, “Hostile Hospitality,” I have learned to play
647. the game as well. My American friend and I often shock and amuse the locals by
648. physically fighting over the bill. I recently had a moment of pride when I
649. leveled-up my hongbao game and felt one step closer to life as a native. My
650. secret weapon: Wechat.</span><br />

653. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">Wechat is the Chinese version of the
654. Whatsup app, but so much more. You can use it to pay at stores, order delivery,
655. and even send hongbao. The Hongbao. “Lucky money” is often used in place of
656. gifts but can be sent digitally over Wechat with your custom title and special
657. message.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

660. <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">After a sneaky move my friend paid
661. the bill while I was in the bathroom giving me no chance to fight for it. To
662. exact my revenge I later sent a digital hongbao, she opened it only to find the
663. exact amount she had just paid for our meal and the message, “It’s on me!”</span></div>

666. <br />
667. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
668. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So a few
669. grievances I have with my school. The top of the list would be the bathroom
670. situation. They do have a teachers’ bathroom, which is quite a nice upgrade
671. from my past schools. However, this bathroom, like many Chinese bathrooms, has
672. no toilet paper or soap. Grr.</span></span></div>
673. <br />
674. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
675. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But on top
676. of that there are no lights! There is one window at the end of the room and 8
677. stalls. So if you close the stall door there is no light! Also of the 8 stalls
678. only 2 have working locks. I have figured this out by accidently opening the
679. stall door to find one of my co workers crouched down inside. And then they
680. wanna talk about it later! No thanks I am working as hard as I can to erase the
681. entire memory. </span></span></div>
682. <span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">So the unspoken rule is that you never open a
683. stall door, ever. If they are all closed you assume they are all full and wait
684. for someone to leave the one with the lock. But even with this fool-proof system,
685. yesterday I walk in to the bathroom with all the doors swung open and one of my
686. coworkers doing her business. What’s worse is she was in the ONE stall with a
687. lock! Come on! Don’t nobody wanna see that. And I have heard this same story
688. from other foreign friends. I just don’t get it. Do they have no modesty? Were
689. they in a hurry, too rushed to close the door? Is it a cultural thing and I’m
690. the weird one for closing my eyes and scurrying away? Yea that must be it, my
691. bad.&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/feeds/3846443983458655990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2015/05/dont-nobody-wanna-see-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/3846443983458655990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/3846443983458655990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2015/05/dont-nobody-wanna-see-that.html' title='Don’t nobody wanna see that'/><author><name>Christy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02315749540454719749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//4.bp.blogspot.com/_zleHPqdx1N4/TC0iBRcnt4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/4WQcqxf-huE/S220-s113/CHINA!+086.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814455066681764975.post-2327941313766818529</id><published>2015-05-04T00:57:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2017-06-30T02:15:49.130-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="China life"/><title type='text'>The China Scurry</title><content type='html'>
692.  
693. <br />
694. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
695. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
696. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
697. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My entire childhood
698. I was teased for my run. Always on my tiptoes with my arms to my side, and flat
699. hands pointed out. Almost as if I were skipping while wearing a tight
700. mermaid-style dress. Earning me the superlative “most likely to prance” from my
701. soccer team; mostly accredited to my blonde, valley-girl tendencies. However, I
702. now realize the true reason for my prance. Deep down, I am a Chinese girl in my
703. natural state of the China scurry. </span></span></div>
704. <br />
705. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
706. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The China
707. scurry can be seen everywhere by all walks of life; the Grandma fighting for a
708. seat on the metro, a man hurrying to catch a bus,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>a mother with her baby crossing the street in
709. front of on-coming traffic, or two excited students rushing towards something
710. shinny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Another unspoken rule in China
711. seems to be that the scurry combine with linking arms with a friend can stop
712. traffic. The thing that strikes me about the scurry is that it seems to be a
713. lot of effort for very little progress. The arms and legs are shuffling so
714. quickly, yet the result is mostly just a quick walk.</span></span></div>
715. <br />
716. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
717. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In America,
718. the scurry would be comparable to our obligatory “3-pump jog,” as my friends
719. say. Meaning when a car lets you walk in front of them you are obligated to
720. give three steps in jogging form to show a respectful hustle. However, after
721. the charade you can return to a normal walk. So perhaps this scurry is China’s
722. charade for a hustle. In many other cases you see that this respect for other
723. people’s time is not a concern for most people. I guess it is fitting that this
724. is used mainly for pedestrians at the mercy of the driver. Except, of course,
725. for the girls scurrying towards shinny things. That is simply an example of femininity,
726. as it is equally fitting that all girls should be drawn to shinny things.</span></span></div>

728.  
729. <br />
730. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
731. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wonder
732. what the long term effect is of living and studying behind bars. This is the
733. reality of every Chinese student in the major cities. Even in my apartment,
734. there are bars on the doors and windows to deter thieves, but if I have to
735. spend a full day inside I feel like a prisoner. The prison feel of the schools
736. is a whole other level.</span></span></div>
737. <br />
738. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
739. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have
740. taught at four different schools now and they all have several similarities.
741. Not only is the entire school surrounded by spiked fences with multiple guards,
742. but each classroom and office has barred windows. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Starting in high school, the students can
743. choose to live in the school dorms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This
744. is the full in-mate experience if you ask me. I lived in the school dorms for 2
745. years so I can say I served my time. </span></span></div>
746. <br />
747. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
748. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The students
749. have a 2 hour lunch break and can leave school to go out to lunch or go home
750. for the noon nap (my favorite part of China). However, students that live on
751. campus are not allowed to leave. They are only allowed to eat the school food
752. for all 3 meals a day, and I am told it’s pretty gross. The guards block the
753. school gate at lunch time and check IDs before students can leave the school. There
754. are usually 2 or more guards armed with clubs and a metal hook thing (like
755. little Bo Peep crossed with the devil’s pitch fork). So many of your friends can
756. leave but you are left behind.</span></span></div>
757. <br />
758. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
759. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many of the
760. friends will try to bring back food for their classmates but must sneak it past
761. the guards. If they walk through the gate holding food the guards may take it,
762. because no outside food is allowed inside. One thing I’ve seen that cracks me
763. up and breaks my heart is that students will wait by a section of the fence
764. away from the guards and pass food through the bars from their classmates
765. outside. That’s so much sneaking for a few McDonalds fries! Some students by
766. pass their classmates all together and call for delivery men to meet them at
767. fence bend. Then during the meal breaks they will sneak down and buy their take
768. out through the fence! My students have approached me and offered to pay me to
769. smuggle in some food for them they can’t buy at the school canteen. It is
770. amazing what these kids would do for a milk-tea.</span></span></div>
771. <br />
772. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
773. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
774. discipline is also prison-like. In line with Maoism the culture instills a
775. strong separation between the teachers and students through many rituals. Every
776. class will start by the students standing to greet the teacher and bowing in
777. unison. If they enter the classroom late, they must stand at the door saluting
778. before they are giving permission to enter. Similarly when they come to the
779. office they must salute at the door and say, “baogao” which is a military term
780. meaning, “to report for duty.” These all took a lot of getting used to when I
781. first began working in the Chinese schools, and flinched every time a student
782. moved sharply into the saluting position. </span></span></div>
783. <br />
784. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
785. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The whole
786. school will file on to the soccer field once a day for morning exercises. The
787. teachers stand to the side to keep guard and grade the students’ participation.
788. Each class stands single file and repeats 8 reps of jumping jacks, stretches,
789. and marching. Schools will even have competitions about who can do the
790. exercises the most energetically and in unison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> 
791. </span>Every so often each class will have to stay after school to jog
792. together. These are more military like but aids in the sober spirit of many of
793. the students.</span></span></div>
794. <br />
795. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
796. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now let’s
797. talk about the work load. If I ever ask my students what they did over the
798. weekend of the holiday it is always the same answer, Homework. I used to think
799. the students only new that word, or were just whining, but I realize the
800. students really do spend all their time studying. And when they are not doing
801. homework, the wealthy students are taking private lessons. Students in the top
802. high schools will wake up at 6am and be in class from 7am to 9pm Monday-Friday,
803. until their last year in High school when they will go to school on Saturdays
804. from 7-5 as well. Most of these students will also have 4-8 hours of private
805. lessons over the weekend. I have asked my students why they have so many books
806. but I have never gotten a clear answer. Looking out from the teacher’s podium
807. many students seem buried under what must be over 50 books. There is just so
808. much information that must be covered.</span></span></div>
809. <br />
810. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
811. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my experience as a foreign teacher the
812. parents are giving the students so much pressure and starting them even younger
813. and younger. I have often been approached to give private lessons to primary
814. students and even pre-k. I taught one 4 year old girl for a full year and I
815. tried and failed with a group of 3 year olds. At 4 years old my student had 2
816. hours a week studying with me as well as a Chinese English teacher, Math
817. teacher, Science tutor, and Piano lessons. All this on top of her Monday to
818. Friday Preschool program in Hong Kong. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
819. can understand why the students are under so much pressure, but I can’t help
820. but feel for them. In China, many parents see their children as their
821. retirement plan. If your child gets into a good school and gets a good job, you
822. will be well taken care of when you are older. If the children fail the parents
823. don’t see a future for themselves. Also with so many people in China, even the
824. well educated have a lot of competition for the few good jobs. So the standards
825. for that golden ticket into the university and job you want are growing more
826. and more impossible.</span></span></div>
827. <br />
828. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
829. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because
830. there are so many people, there are not enough schools for all the students. I
831. have heard different stats as to the percentage but clearly many of the
832. students do not get into high school and even fewer can get into college. Each
833. student will take 2 major tests that can drastically change their lives: The
834. zhongkao to get into high school and the GaoKao to get into college. In China
835. admission is based solely upon these scores and as such, students are taught
836. very early that the tests are all that matter. This is a problem all over the
837. world that so much emphasis is put on the tests and the teachers are giving so
838. much pressure to have their students pass the test. Teachers can no longer be
839. creative and add supplemental lessons, because they must spend all the class
840. time on the facts for the tests. Another pit fall I see in china is that the
841. teachers only teach to the top students. Since this first major hurdle in the
842. students’ education starts in grade 9, by middle school most students already
843. know their ranking compared to their classmates and therefore their likely hood
844. of entering high school. Those students that have fallen behind will give up,
845. but legally must continue going to school. In turn the teachers will ignore
846. these students and focus on the top percent that are likely to move on. </span></span></div>
847. <br />
848. <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
849. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These
850. students that have fallen behind are the real in-mates. If you are taught
851. having high scores is the only thing that matters, how can a bad test-taker
852. find any value in studying? Knowing that they are soon going to be out in the
853. world with no skills and limited options must be terrifying for a 15-18 year
854. old. And to be separated into a lost cause even earlier than that would be
855. devastating. Yet these students must come and bow, salute, and sit through lessons
856. that they are told don’t apply to them since they will never be a top student. </span></span></div>

881. <span style="line-height: 115%;">I just
882. noticed that I have not updated my blog since I got engaged. And the blog post
883. about our engagement didn’t get past the airline travels. How is married life?
884. Short answer, busy! So I’ll just skip the last year and a half and fill in the
885. gaps as I good. Oops.<span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
886. <div class="MsoNormal">
887. <span style="line-height: 115%;">SO being
888. married to a Chinese man seems to immediately bring up two issues I feel I
889. would have avoided if I married an American. Number one is the repeated
890. question from everyone I see, “When are you going to have a baby?” I guess
891. parents do this is the US too, but the China baby pressure is on a whole other level.
892. Even the cleaning ladies at school are giving me pressure to hurry up and start
893. making babies. Seriously, every time I tell someone I am married they say, “Oh,
894. you have a baby?”  I have perfected my
895. response in my best Chinese “wait a little! Too soon!  I have only been married 1 year!” In America
896. that would be the end of the conversation, but a Chinese stranger will not be
897. satisfied with this. “No, 1 year too long. When you marry it is best to have
898. babies soon. You should have the baby now.” 
899. Thank you taxi driver, fruit lady, students, and numerous others; your
900. little pep talk now makes me instantly ready for parenthood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
901. <div class="MsoNormal">
902. <span style="line-height: 115%;">And when I
903. talk to Daniel the conversation also seems to have very little discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
904. <div class="MsoNormal">
905. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Where will
906. we give birth? – Anywhere is ok. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
907. <div class="MsoNormal">
908. <span style="line-height: 115%;">I don’t like
909. Chinese hospitals. – No need, My mom is a midwife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
910. <div class="MsoNormal">
911. <span style="line-height: 115%;">That’s not
912. gonna happen! – Ok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
913. <div class="MsoNormal">
914. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Babies are
915. expensive! – I don’t think so, we have enough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
916. <div class="MsoNormal">
917. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Can we
918. afford for one of us to stay home with the babies?  – No problem, my parents will come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
919. <div class="MsoNormal">
920. <span style="line-height: 115%;">This leads
921. to China issue number two; the live-in in-laws. I didn’t realize that it was a
922. given in China that when you get married the parents come and live with you. It
923. is very common in China for girls to go live with their parents while they are
924. pregnant while the husband works in the city. Or in other cases the parents
925. live with the wife while the husband goes off somewhere to make some money and
926. is away for months at a time. Almost as if the husband and his parents are
927. interchangeable. I like my in-laws and all, but they aint no Daniel! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
928. <div class="MsoNormal">
929. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">When Daniel
930. met my Granny in the US he was shocked that she lived alone. In his mind my parents </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">weren't</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> doing their job to take care of her. 
931. I tried to explain that my Granny was still healthy and very
932. independent. She </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">wouldn't</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> be happy leaving her friends and hometown to live in
933. a new city so far away with my parents. 
934. He talked about duty and that after a certain age the children have to
935. make the decision. Finally he said, “Americans just don’t love their parents
936. like Chinese.” Before you explode in shock of such a harsh insult (like I no
937. doubt did) let me try and explain his meaning. After awhile, I saw a bit of
938. truth in his statement.  In my eyes,
939. making all the decisions for your elderly parents would be cruel and degrading.
940. In a Chinese mind this is how you take care of your loved ones. In Daniel’s
941. eyes, letting your parents live alone is abandoning them, but American’s would
942. view this as giving them independence. So we do love our parents in different
943. ways. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
944. <div class="MsoNormal">
945. <span style="line-height: 115%;">I think one
946. of the major reasons for this difference is the idea of retirement. In China,
947. your retirement is your children. Parents put tons of money into their children’s
948. education but it is almost like an investment. Because the better life your
949. children have; the easier your retired life will be. Chinese culture encourages
950. saving, and it is taught at a very young age. But it is all general savings.
951. Nothing is set aside specifically for retirement. The government is just now
952. started to push employers to offer retirement plans. Even so, many Chinese will
953. not take advantage of the program. They believe it is better to use the money
954. now toward their children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
955. <div class="MsoNormal">
956. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Americans
957. are not taught the strict value of saving, but people do save for specific
958. purposes, like a house or college fund. And retirement plans are considered
959. basic benefits. The government social security program has major problems, but
960. it is at least a safety net. The idea that your children will be your
961. retirement seems too unpredictable to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
962. <br />
963. <div class="MsoNormal">
964. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Our
965. compromise is that I said I am happy to have this family visit anytime of course.
966. But if they are going to stay long-term, we need to find them an apartment
967. nearby. At the first few subtle hints that Daniel wanted to invite his parents
968. to come live with us I quickly used their own culture against them and said,

973. <br />
974. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
975. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will start the review of my vacation with strictly the
976. travel to and from US and China, because that is a short in itself. So, many
977. may call me cruel for planning Daniels first trip outside of china and first
978. time on a plane as a 40 hour travel over 3 flights and 3 immigration points,
979. but honestly I am just cheap. Lesson learned.</span></div>
980. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
981. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our trip started from Hong Kong at 6am, but the taxis and
982. borders don’t start that early. So really our trip had to start the night
983. before. On my last trips out of Hong Kong I always have to go sleep at the
984. airport overnight to catch an early flight. But for some reason, this time we
985. get to the ticket counter about 9 pm (after a long battle with Daniel to wait
986. later to go to the airport, I lost) and there is no one there! I finally found
987. someone to tell me the ticket counter would open at 5:30 am. They were on moved
988. by the fact that I would only have 30mins before my flight left and I couldn’t
989. get into the airport without a boarding pass. So we would sleep there in the
990. airport check-in line. The lights were on full blast and the high ceilings were
991. pretty but echoed every foot step and stupid airport security announcement that
992. played on a 20 min loop. I had no problem sprawling out across the tile floor
993. but Daniel forbid me saying, “too dirty” so we finally stole 3 chairs when a
994. couple got up to use the bathroom, score. This is when Daniel decided that we
995. should take turns, “keeping watch.” I don’t know what we were watching, but
996. whenever it was my turn to keep watch he couldn’t sleep, so I just went back to
997. sleep. Luckily, against my advice Daniel had packed us snacks and we were
998. somehow able to get checked in, through security, through customs check and on
999. to our first flight to Shanghai. The only hiccup was that the airlines wouldn’t
1000. give me my boarding flight for the next flight to JFK or check my bags through
1001. to DC because we would have to go through customs again there. But no problem
1002. we had a 2 hour layover anyway.</span><br />
1003. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1004.  
1005. </span><br />
1006. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1007. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I somehow forgot how awful JKF airport is. We get
1008. to the immigration line and it is packed with people. I go through the American
1009. line and wait for our luggage, then go to the bathroom, get a drink, and Daniel
1010. is still in the visitor’s line! After an hour I finally see Daniel ask a guard
1011. and move to the front of the line. By the time we get to the transfer counter
1012. the guy refuses to take our bags bc our plane leaves in less than an hour. So
1013. he gives us so crap that we have to go OUTSIDE the airport, take a bus to the
1014. entrance and go through check in and security on our own bc we may miss our
1015. flight. I reply with a smartalic jab that we would be less likely to miss our
1016. flight if they would just take my dang bag and let me go through the transfer
1017. line, right? Anyway, Daniel asks me what’s going on and I am frustrated so I
1018. snap back a quick string of words that he can’t catch and when he “Huh?”s me I
1019. just say, “We are late, RUN!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And we
1020. literally run through the parking lot, catch the shuttle, cut the line at the
1021. check it, cut the line in security and sprint to the gate. I check the board to
1022. see the flight has been delayed an hour! So I loudly let out a, “praise Jesus!”
1023. and go telling Daniel, “We would have missed our flight, but God delayed the
1024. plane just for us! Ready I think that’s the reason it was delayed. It should
1025. have already been gone…” and I go on and on. Until I see the angry stairs of
1026. the people in the waiting room who were not as happy the flight was delayed. So
1027. then we sit there quietly as they announce the flight is delayed another hour
1028. and another and another. And the people continue their accusing stares at me,
1029. even though I only said I wanted the FIRST delay. I guess I need to be more
1030. specific with my prayers. </span></div>
1031. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1032.  
1033. </span><br />
1034. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1035. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that was all on Saturday, our Saturday was 36hours
1036. literally… think about it!</span></div>
1037. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1038.  
1039. </span><br />
1040. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1041. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So after one day in DC we decide it is time to fly down to
1042. Florida, since Daniel hadn’t spent enough time flying the past few days. And oh
1043. by the way, Daniel is not a relaxed flyer. He is really sensitive to machine
1044. humming that I don’t even hear. Like how he secretly tries to turns off my
1045. refrigerator and AC whenever he is in my apartment, bc he doesn’t like the
1046. noise. We live in China the land of a billion screaming people, constant
1047. construction, and crying little emperors but whatever sorry my frig is too
1048. loud! So, on the plane he is gripping the arm rest the whole time and “keeping
1049. watch”. In this case it meant waking me up to ask what the new noise he heard
1050. was. To which I kindly answered, “the plane” and went back to bed. </span></div>
1051. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1052.  
1053. </span><br />
1054. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1055. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the DC airport they have a weird gate system where like
1056. 10 planes share one gate number, but there is an upstairs and downstairs with 3
1057. exits all marked the same gate. There you take a bus to your plane. Apparently
1058. there was a big storm in NY, but who cares we were going to Florida right? But
1059. somehow this delayed our flight even though the board said on time, none of the
1060. gate monitors had our flight listed and an hour after our plane was suposta
1061. take off the airline lady seemed really annoyed that I asked if I had somehow
1062. missed the something, meaning where the heck is my plane lady! But this is when
1063. we realized Daniel does not speak airport! We could sit there and see the staff
1064. making announcements over the intercom and every time Daniel would ask me to
1065. translate English to English. I thought it was hilarious how differently he
1066. heard the message! He didn’t think it was so fun. I just loved hearing the
1067. American accents. Here was a flight to Boston and the guy had such a heavy
1068. accent you just had to giggle. When we finally got on to the plane the pilot
1069. said he had been sitting there on the plane for over an hour while the DC
1070. people just couldn’t get their act together, direct quote. This was, oh by the
1071. way, the most rinky-dink plane I’ve ever seen. And we counted on the bus there;
1072. we had 10 people traveling on the plane with us, a big change from our last
1073. plane with 500 people! So the little plane didn’t have over head bins and you
1074. had to leave your bags to be put under the plane. So then we get to Florida and
1075. they have the cover ramp thing to the gate, you know like normal airports. But
1076. I get out to the gate and realize I forgot to wait for my bag so I run back to
1077. the plane. Well a few minutes later I hear Daniel talking to the flight
1078. attendant trying to follow after me, so this security starts yelling at him,
1079. “NO! You’re not listening, step back!” so I run back grab Daniel’s hand and
1080. tell the security guard. “Don’t yell at him, this is his first time in America
1081. and I’m tryna make a good impression!” and drag him back down the ramp to the
1082. plane. Daniel just looks at me with these sad eyes and says softly, “You left
1083. me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Not a very good start, but oh its
1084. gets better.</span></div>
1085. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So once we get to Florida it is time for my
1086. first trip driving a rental car. Daniel was very skeptical about my driving
1087. ability since only rich people drive in China and he had never ridden with me.
1088. It was a 2 hour drive to my granny in Alabama and it was already getting dark
1089. so I was excited about the 80mph speed limit! I reach lovingly for Daniels hand
1090. and he quickly places my hand back on the wheel, "no no hold tight!"
1091. I start asking him questions to which he replies quickly yes or no adding the
1092. advise, "slowly slowly, don't drive too quickly" I of coarse smile
1093. and ignore this advise, until I finally see his distress and he blurts out,
1094. "ok, no talking until we are outside the car, you drive carefully!"
1095. Now I see why Chinese don't road trip.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
1096. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a few days with granny we head back to
1097. Florida to see my grandma and plan to fly out from there at 6pm Friday night.
1098. Grandma insists she take us out for seafood before we leave. My little cousin
1099. overhears and begs us to take him too which means we will push our outing to a
1100. dinner rather than lunch we had planned earlier. Well once he gets home from
1101. school he tries to sell us on the idea of Chinese food. Niceville has some of
1102. the best shrimp in America, caught fresh daily! I live in China I can get
1103. Chinese food anytime I want and so can he, without me. I finally win this
1104. discussion but realize its almost 4 pm so we should hurry. well one thing leads
1105. to another and we are somehow moving at a snail’s pace my grandma convinces us
1106. the airport is only 15 minutes away and it is small so we don't need long to
1107. check in since there its only one gate. So I relax and forget about the time. <br />
1108. The restaurant has one waitress and the place is filling up but she passes us
1109. over each time she comes to take our order BC my cousin dosent see Chinese food
1110. on the menu and is unable to think of anything else. Anyway we say our goodbyes
1111. from there and head to the Airport... Its 530! Our plane leaves at 6! Daniel
1112. was scared of my regular driving so you can imagine how he responds to my
1113. hurried driving. I hand him my phone and ask him to call my dad, impatient I
1114. grab the phone back a do it myself. I tell him the situation and ask for advice.
1115. He says don't waste time filling up the rental car with has, send Daniel to
1116. check in alone, tell the rental place to charge the card and meet Daniel at
1117. security it’s still gonna be close but we could still make it.<br />
1118. I rattle of the plan to Daniel who stairs at me blankly. We get to the entrance
1119. and I hand him my passport and tell him to go check in. "how?"
1120. "go to the counter, hand them our passports and tell them to stop the
1121. plane!" "Ummm, what? Maybe you do that part, I stay with you" I
1122. scream in frustration and driver off thinking of a plane B. So I park the car
1123. and literally run inside. I stop at the rental car place and tell him to go
1124. ahead to the check in and tell them we are here. I throw the keys on the
1125. counter and say, "I'm late. Is parked outside, do what you have to"
1126. and head after Daniel. He is in the security line holding his shoes in one hand
1127. and passport in the other talking to the officer. I don't have time to ask, I
1128. just run passed calling for him to follow. We get to the check in counter
1129. panting out of breath, Daniel still holding shoes... The place is empty. We had
1130. done all this in a recording breaking 15 minutes but it was still too late. I
1131. left Daniel there and walked around looking pitiful until I found a guard to
1132. tell me the check in staff is also the boarding staff and they would be back
1133. after they finished take off. With this news I finally went back to Daniel
1134. defeated and announced, "We missed it; put your dang shoes back on."<br />
1135. Now we had plenty of time to discuss who was to blame. I started off with my
1136. best attempt asst an apology, "I should have known we would be late. I
1137. shouldn't have refused my grandmas invitation to dinner. I can't believe she
1138. wanted to go so late." Daniel replied sharply, "in China we never
1139. blame to old!" I rolled my eyes and a few minutes later he added," I
1140. guys it is partly my fault too. I always rush you, I should have kept my phone
1141. on the table and hurried you, sorry." This is not a lesson I wanted him to
1142. learn. But I think I fell in love a little more, what other guy makes up a
1143. reason to apologize?<br />
1144. I sweet talk the guy into putting us a flight the next morning. We would have a
1145. layover in North Carolina and at 5am. We thought about getting a hotel odd just
1146. sleeping in the airport again! But finally I decided to get my rental car back
1147. so I could avoid the gas fee and go back to my grandmas. When I called to tell
1148. her we missed our flight and ask if we could spend another night. She said,
1149. "hum how did that happen?"<br />
1150. Lesson learns 2 am Daniel Wales me up and starts pushing me to leave. We had
1151. said our goodbyes the night before and told my grandma but to worry about
1152. getting up to see us off. But as a good<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

1157. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Southern host, she was up as soon as we were
1158. on our way out the door. When she insisted that we stay for her to cook us
1159. breakfast I could see the panic in Daniels eyes. So we settled on fruit and
1160. muffins, those of you that have met my grandma know how hard she is to say no
1161. to. We still got there before the airport was open and got back with little
1162. excitement. However, we learned when we got back that my mom was literally
1163. worried sick about us the whole time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1164. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1165.  
1166. </span><br />
1167. <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1168. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So fast forward to Valentine’s day when we
1169. head back to China. I had another adventure schedule for us outings back in
1170. Shenzhen 3 days later after a 14 hour layover in Shanghai. At this pointy my
1171. family has no faith in my traveling ability took me to the airport and parked
1172. to go in with me to check in and sit and visit until it was almost time to
1173. board. They even stayed waving and taking pictures until we forwarded security.
1174. I get to the gate and realize our flight is delayed, we had a quick connection
1175. in JFK and I knew this would make it impossible. So I go straight to the
1176. counter to see what we can do. Daniel immediately starts pushing nee to call my
1177. dad but neither of us have a phone and I won't have anything to tell him until
1178. we see if we can catch another flight. After some sweet talking we are able to
1179. get a flight on air Canada to Toronto and then straight to Hong Kong, but not
1180. until tomorrow. All and all that's still an upgrade. But we added stuck at the
1181. airport and I finally admit that I don't know my dad’s cell phone number. I
1182. rummage through my purse and find 2 quarters. I really did feel like a prisoner
1183. with one phone call, should I try the house and hope they are there or do I try
1184. my sister at work? I finally call Amy and she find this a great opportunity to
1185. tease me and starts giving me the house number that I of course have memorized,
1186. then finally the cell number. Being out of quarters I ask get to call and give
1187. the number for them to call me back on the pay phone. A few minutes later the
1188. phone rings and gives me an error message when I answer. So at these county I
1189. am staying to get frustrated I explain to Daniel that I can't call and I don't
1190. know if that was my dad or sister calling or what we should do. At these point
1191. he decides to lecture me on how irresponsible it is not to have all under
1192. important numbers memorized our written in a bore book that yuk keep with you.
1193. I lost it and break down in a sloppy sobbing mess and squeak out that I was the
1194. one that sweet talked us into an upgrade and staged the flights and what would
1195. he have done without me! He then leaves for a minute while I pull myself
1196. together and comes back with quarters he exchanged for his $2bill souvenir. And
1197. tells me call my dad and ask him to pick us up at the metro. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1198. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
1199.  
1200. </span><br />
1201. <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1202. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My
1203. Mom was such a mess when we missed our flight in Florida I thought she would be
1204. a complete wreck when they picked us up. However she was ecstatic to have
1205. another day with has and talked the whole way home with I've breath telling us
1206. all the ways she planned to spend our last day. I want ready to look on the Brightside,
1207. I wanted a nap. I had planned to sleep on the plane. Not fight with my
1208. boyfriend, haul my bags across DC and fight the metro. After awhile we realized
1209. this really was an upgrade. Canada Air is wonderful; comfy seats, nice flight
1210. attendance and most of all individual TV screens! We even had an empty seat
1211. next to us on the 14 hour flight, So I took up all 3 seats. Awesome. However,
1212. Daniel realized his cell phone was missing in the Toronto airport and is convinced
1213. someone stole it. I laughed because what would they need with a Chinese cell
1214. phone that oh by the way, only cost 300 kuai ($50) 4 years ago. But I should
1215. have known our luck would run out soon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1216. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

1218. </span><br />
1219. <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1220. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
1221. we get to Hong Kong airport we are both delirious, as wonderful as the free movies
1222. are, they kept me from sleeping and I was out of it, to say the least. We go
1223. through immigration into Hong Kong and then have to take a bus to the metro and
1224. then the metro to the Shenzhen border. I fell asleep on the bus ride and was
1225. completely worthless once it was time to switch to the metro; me and Daniel
1226. decided to just share a cab to my apartment and crash instead of worrying about
1227. the additional hour and a half to get to his apartment. We have been in and out
1228. of immigration no jokes 7 times on our trip so far and still had 2 more check
1229. points to go through. It is always a pain bc me and Daniel have to go through separate
1230. lanes for foreigners and locals. But every time we waited for each other on the
1231. other side of the check point. I usually get done way before him bc there are
1232. always millions of Chinese, so I go to his side to wait for him. So we get to
1233. the checkpoint to leave Hong Kong and I say, “I’ll wait for you on the other
1234. side.” And he grunts at me and we walk off like zombies. I luck out and there
1235. are literally 5 foreigners in line. So I finish in 5 mins and try to figure out
1236. when the Chinese line drops people into the no man’s land between Hong Kong and
1237. mainland china check points. So I see a flood of Chinese rushing by and
1238. illegally stand in the center of the flood looking for Daniel. So I wait and
1239. wait and wait. And I keep thinking I see him but it is just a blur of Chinese.
1240. So I figure I am the only foreigner for miles so he will see me. But after
1241. about an hour and I am starting to get worried so I walk around to see if there
1242. is another exit for the Chinese people or if he could possibly be waiting
1243. another place near the line. But nothing. I can see that there is a line of Chinese
1244. waiting to enter the room, so the line goes all the way into another room out
1245. of sight and who knows how many people are waiting. So I decide I’ll wait a
1246. little longer. I keep thinking that I am exhausted and I just want to go and
1247. meet him at the apartment later, but if he is still in that line he is just as
1248. tired. Plus he doesn’t have a phone for me to call him and I KNOW he wouldn’t
1249. leave me if it was reversed. And there is no way he could have walked by
1250. without seeing me. So I wait and wait. I see a foreign guy come and wait near
1251. me and after awhile his Chinese girlfriend comes through the line and they
1252. leave together. So I turn to someone that just came through the line and try to
1253. ask how long they waited in line for. But they don’t speak any English, so I
1254. try again with their elementary age boys, still no luck. I start to tear up in
1255. frustration. Someone finally overhears and asks if they can help me and I ask
1256. how long the line usually takes and she says up to an hour… I had been there
1257. for 3. Our plan landed at 3pm and it was now 7. So I give up and decided we are
1258. back in China, Daniel should be about to find his way home. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1263. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As
1264. I start walking toward the checkpoint to enter China, my phone rings. I guess
1265. where I was standing waiting was just beyond the China Mobile signal. It was
1266. Daniel calling in a frantic fit. He tells me he is at my school and where was
1267. I. “I am waiting for you at the Hong Kong checkpoint like I said I would! The same
1268. place I have been waiting for the past 3 hours!” “I waited for you at the China
1269. checkpoint, why didn’t you come?” I stopped walking in the middle of the
1270. passage way with a sea of people around me and started crying. “I was going to
1271. leave, but I thought you much be here bc you wouldn’t leave without me!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’m sorry, Just come home and I will take you
1272. to dinner” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1277. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
1278. find out that Daniel had thought I meant to wait on the other side of the 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup>
1279. immigration checkpoint inside mainland China. So he had spent an hour there
1280. freaking out. He didn’t have a phone and didn’t have my number memorized. The
1281. only number he had written down with him was from my dad’s business card. So he
1282. begged a shop keeper at the border to let him call America to ask for my phone
1283. number. However this was the middle of the night in America, so the next day my
1284. dad gets a message that says, “Hello, Mr. Phillips, this is Daniel… Hello?” This
1285. cost him $20. He then decided to try and see if I had gone back to my school
1286. and luckily my coworkers where in the office for some reason on a Saturday
1287. night. And they gave him my cell phone number and let him use the office phone.
1288. He had been calling for about an hour, but couldn’t get through bc I was still
1289. in the Hong Kong cell phone area. If I hadn’t come back to the school soon, he
1290. was going to go back to his apartment to see if I was looking for him there. He
1291. had even stated he was going to call the police if he didn’t reach me soon.
1292. What were the police going to do? What did he think was going to happen to me?
1293. I have been in China for 3 years, I have crossed the border 100 times. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1298. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway,
1299. when my cab pulls up he runs out of the guard station and grabs my bag for me
1300. then says, “Why did you wait so long?” I wanted to punch him, I was waiting for
1301. Him That’s where we were suposta meet! Every time we did immigration checks I waited
1302. for him right outside his line! We were both much better after eating and
1303. getting some sleep. It wasn’t until the next day that we were able to laugh
1304. about it and put the whole story together. If all these obstacles in the travel
1305. were to test our relationship, I guess we passed. I am glad we can laugh about
1306. it now, but at the time… not so much.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1308. <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">
1309.  
1310. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
1311. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of my friends told
1312. me the story of a Christian missionary in Africa. On his first day he invited
1313. the whole village into the church. He told them the gospel and warned that
1314. anyone who did not repent and turn from their sins would suffer eternity in hell.
1315. The next week only half the people came to hear the massage. The missionary was
1316. shocked by the low attendance and decided to show them pictures and videos to
1317. explain how serious he was and how awful hell really is. To his surprise the
1318. next no one attended his service! When he went to the villagers and asked why,
1319. they replied that hell was only for white men, so it didn't apply to them.
1320. Because all the pictures he showed of Hell only had white people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1321. <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">
1322.  
1323. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1324. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My friend added at the
1325. end of the story, that as an Asian he feels the same way. Many people see
1326. missionaries as an extension of the western aggression, trying to make the
1327. eastern world more like the west. It was shocking for me to hear this, but I
1328. can see the misconception. It’s a dangerous idea either way. Even my boyfriend
1329. told me when I first bought him to church that he the reason he wanted to come
1330. was to learn American culture. This particularly worries me, because it makes
1331. it seems that Jesus only dies for me or people like me. But think about where
1332. that idea comes from. How often do Christians act that they are superior and
1333. pass judgment workout admitting they own sin? And even in Israel the Church of
1334. Nativity has a white baby doll in the manger, although we know that Jesus would
1335. have been of Middle Eastern descent. Think of all the Christian artwork with a
1336. blond-haired blue-eyed Jesus. We want to think that Jesus looks like us,
1337. because it makes it easier for us to understand him as our brother with God the
1338. father. But how do we combat that image when sharing our faith?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1339. <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">
1340.  
1341. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1342. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I am also disheartened
1343. by the thought that American culture is seen as Christian culture. Not because
1344. I don't believe that America’s founding fathers were Christians, but because I
1345. think our country today is not a good representation of Christian values.
1346. Imagine how people must view our Christian values in the context of American
1347. movies, rap and pop music, celebrity gossip, politics, and school shootings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1348. <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">
1349.  
1350. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
1351. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I regret I have mostly
1352. concerns and few answers. But for me, I vow to do my best to oppose these views
1353. and not allow myself to be conformed to them. I remember during the sniper
1354. attacks when I was in high school, I told myself I refuse to be afraid. I
1355. refuse to be changed. And as a Christian and as an American, I refuse to be the
1356. person people assume me to be. If we don't like the negative stereotypes, the
1357. only thing we can do is create new ones to replace the old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

1362.  
1363. <br />
1364. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1365. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today is the funeral of my sister from another mister’s mom,
1366. Teri. A few days before New Years, she lost her 8 month battle with cancer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hard to be so far away and miss my chance
1367. to say goodbye. It almost doesn’t seem real when you read about it in emails;
1368. It was a few days before I said it out loud. My first thought was why not 1
1369. month later! I just wanted 1 more month. A month later she would have been a
1370. grandma. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A month later I would be back
1371. in America introducing her to my new boyfriend. I had promised this summer that
1372. I would bring him to South Carolina to get her approval. </span></div>
1373. <br />
1374. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1375. <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than anyone else,
1376. Teri really saw herself in my travels and adventures in China. She was one of
1377. the few people that shared my love of adventure and experiencing new people and
1378. cultures. After my first year in China she sat me down and shared some of her
1379. hard learned lessons in travels. We talked about how easy it is to get wrapped
1380. up in the newness and excitement and think, ‘I love this’, and ‘everything is
1381. so great!’ But it fades quickly as soon as the newness wears off. So you have
1382. to protect yourself and me mindful of the company you keep. She told me how she
1383. knows how to size someone up so quickly, but her country upbringing made her
1384. too trusting. It was like she was inside my head! She knew exactly what I was
1385. doing and thinking without me saying a word. “Oh, I know little one!” she would
1386. say. </span></div>
1387. <br />
1388. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1389. <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was her nickname
1390. for me “little one” given to me long after I was little. But I loved it! When
1391. she stayed with us in my old apartment, Amy and Nora would be cooking in the
1392. kitchen and she turned to me and say, “Run away little one, before they put you
1393. to work!” Even in my own house she let me be the baby! </span></div>
1394. <br />
1395. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1396. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">My last visit with Teri was this past summer. She was
1397. already in a lot of pain, but she really pushed herself to spend time and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>go out with Nora, Amy and me. We went to see
1398. the Snow White movie but it was sold out so we ended up seeing Magic Mike. I being
1399. in China and never seeing any of the previews, assumed it was a basketball
1400. movie. I assumed wrong! At first it was really uncomfortable to watch a
1401. stripper movie with my friend’s mom, but she is not a regular mom! She is the
1402. mom that your friends want you to invite to parties. The mom that embarrasses you
1403. but makes everyone else love it! (Singing Limp Biskit at Adam’s Birthday
1404. Party). Or how she talked about loving those ba-two-k boys(B2K). Or how she
1405. would stop a perfect stranger to tell them that their baby needs to be in a
1406. proper car seat. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And she was never
1407. afraid to say exactly what she was thinking, with the same storytelling and
1408. descriptive flare that I love about Nora too! Magic Mike was definitely not our
1409. group’s favorite movie, but Teri’s side comments and stories afterward made it
1410. a great time. </span></div>
1411. <br />
1412. <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
1413. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">And that same visit I told her about so trouble I was
1414. having with an ex-boyfriend and even though she could barely keep her eyes
1415. open, she was ready to take action. If I had told her a year ago, I wouldn’t
1416. have been able to stop her. She is one strong women. And she has the
1417. connections to get things done. I have no doubt that anyone who has ever known
1418. Teri would do anything for her. No one takes advantage of her loved ones, and I
1419. am so lucky to be one of those people. But with Teri, it wasn’t just her family
1420. that she cared about. She was able to size them up, but her heart went out to
1421. them as well. I remember her talking about the random people she met on my
1422. Greyhound up to Virgina. She started off complaining that she just has that
1423. face that people think they can open up to her even though she tried everything
1424. she could to signal that she didn’t want to talk. But then she continues
1425. telling the guy’s story and you can tell she really does feel their pain and
1426. care about what there were telling her no matter how hard she tried not to
1427. care. It was just her nature to connect with people.</span></div>
1428. <br />
1429. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1430. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">We always want more time. I truly regret I wasn’t there for
1431. her and Nora more. Even though I am in China, that’s no excuse. I should have
1432. called, I should have written. I should have let her know how much she means to
1433. me last month, not assuming I would have time a month later. But it is selfish
1434. that I want more time. She was suffering and now she is free. I truly believe
1435. she is in heaven right now. And It is my prayer that she knows she is loved and
1436. missed. </span></div>
1437. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1438. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">My thoughts and sympathies go out to Nora, Chuck, Maria,
1439. Jimmy and Adam. May you take comfort in the knowledge that just as you did
1440. everything you could to take care of Teri on earth, Her heavenly Father is
1441. taking care of her now. But I am sincerely sorry for your loss.</span></div>
1442. <br />
1443. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1444. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">We will all miss you, Teri. I love you and Goodbye.</span></div>

1446.  
1447. <br />
1448. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1449. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The trip to Korea
1450. really did sneak up on me. My friend Pina has been talking about her upcoming
1451. wedding off and on and then one day she was like so we decided on December 12
1452. so you will need to ask off work from the 11 to 17<sup>th</sup>. No question,
1453. just the facts! I wouldn’t have gladly gone either way but the fact that I got
1454. this information 2 weeks before the trip added a bit of panic! I’m lucky that
1455. she also added a by the way it’s cold there. I was thinking yea I’ll bring a
1456. jacket, No its -10 degrees cold, -10 degrees CELCIUS! They don’t have those
1457. numbers in DC, much less Shenzhen, so I may have been slightly unprepared. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1458. <br />
1459. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1460. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I also got
1461. another surprise when Anthony, the Korean groom, called me and asked if I would
1462. sing at the wedding as a surprise for Pina! We have KTVed often, so he had
1463. mostly heard me sing rap songs. I was glad he trusted me not to ruin his wedding;
1464. my one condition was that I would only sing in English and his condition was
1465. that I not sing Rihanna’s S&M. I chose a few songs that I could sing and
1466. sent him an email to choose his favorite. When I didn’t hear anything I decided
1467. I would just pick one assuming he was probably busy since he often stated, “ I don’t
1468. know, I’ve never been the groom before!” The day I was leaving for Korea I got
1469. a call from Anthony about dinner time saying, “Hey I decided what song you
1470. should sing!” 2 days before the wedding, 2 hours before I have to leave for the
1471. airport, being panic mode. He wanted me to do “If I Aint Got You” by Alicia
1472. Keys. I had sang it for KTV with the couple before but KTV and wedding singing
1473. is much different! So my last precious hours in Shenzhen I was trying to find
1474. the accompany track on line, with Daniel translating since it is all in Chinese
1475. BTW, and frantically trying to pack making sure I wouldn’t forget anything. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1476. <br />
1477. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1478. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So leaving
1479. for the airport was a panic but I got it all done. My plane left from hong kong
1480. at 1am, so I had to cross the border before it closes and catch another bus before
1481. they stop running and all that jazz, which I have never done by myself before.
1482. I was stressing the whole time, rushing through everything, elbowing people out
1483. of the way in the crowds until I get to the airport at 10:30pm. Perfect timing.
1484. Then I check in and see that the plane is delayed to 3am because the snow is so
1485. bad in Korea. All that rushing for nothing. But the best part about hongkong,
1486. no firewalls! No problem, facebook can entertain me for hours. The thing I didn’t
1487. think about was that the plugs in hong kong are different then main land china
1488. and an hour of wifi and my phone is completely die. I go to my gate and sprawl
1489. out across 3 chairs as they announce the flight is pushed back to 4, then 5,
1490. then finally 6am before we boarded the plane! Once I get to Korea the plane is
1491. for Anthony’s uncle to pick me and 2 of their other friends up at the airport.
1492. Luckily Taro found me and we roamed the Seoul airport together. Between the 2
1493. of us all we could figure out was that we were to meet at the Dunkin Donuts
1494. (which there were 20 of) and wait for his uncle. None of the numbers we had for
1495. pina or Anthony were working, so all we could do was sit patiently and hope
1496. someone would call our name. I let Taro do all the worrying and turned my
1497. attention to the most delicious breakfast of my life! Cheese bagel…wait for it…
1498. with cheese. DElicious! China has a definitely lack of Cheese so I crave it all
1499. the time! I didn’t even realize we were stranded, left to freeze to death in
1500. the airport, I was in cheese heaven! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1501. <br />
1502. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1503. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyway we
1504. finally saw another blonde woman calling out “Christina?” and I figured that
1505. was close enough! Her name was Yana and she was an older Swedish woman that
1506. lived in the same building as Pina when they were in Beijing. She would later
1507. become my trip roommate, so there will be more stories of her to come. The “uncle”
1508. was actually a family friend of Anthony’s who looked to be in his 30s, which
1509. didn’t make sense since Anthony is 35. But he was super sweet and anywhere his
1510. English was lacking he made up for with sign language, my personal favorite. The
1511. plan was for Uncle to drive us around the city until the last guest arrived a
1512. 10pm but he decided instead to take us to a Bus to Anthony’s hometown about 4
1513. hours south of Seoul. Uncle was so nervous to leave us at the bus station and
1514. tried his best to find us a local “babysitter” who was waiting for the same
1515. bus. We finally convinced him we could handle it and he ran back to the car
1516. before he could get a ticket for double parking, 1<sup>st</sup> mayor
1517. difference from China they actually give parking tickets in Korea. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1518. <br />
1519. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1520. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When we get
1521. to Anthony’s hometown the bus driver let us borrow his cell phone to call for a
1522. ride home, crazy nice, and the wedding couple comes to pick us up! We then go
1523. to our first Korean meal and realize that Koreans sit on the floor and take their
1524. shoes off at the door, even in restaurants not just at home. This is difficult
1525. first because I am used to sitting down to take my shoes on and off which is
1526. not an option because you are standing in the small double door way, WITH 4
1527. other people trying to take their shoes off too. AND it is snowing like crazy
1528. so my shoes are wet with snow and others’ had the same issue and their snowy
1529. shoes have now melted and puddle on the floor that I have to step through now
1530. in my sock feet. Then we get to the sitting on the floor. There is a little
1531. square cushion on the floor that I am suposta fit on too and somehow slide my
1532. legs under the small table, which doesn’t happen, so you end up sitting Indian
1533. style, which is only comfortable for so long, and I’m not a fan. And Korean food,
1534. spicy. Even when they tell you it’s not, spicy. You see the noodles swimming in
1535. red sauce and they say, “no, it’s not spicy, just a little flavor” LIES! Don’t be
1536. fooled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1537. <br />
1538. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1539. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">By 11pm we
1540. arrive at Anthony’s parents’ house and he pulls me and Pina aside to translate
1541. the ceremony. He read what the pastor will say in Korean, tells the meaning in
1542. English, I do the English to English translation, and Pina translates the
1543. English into Italian. Sounds easy, but we are all tired and the script is just…
1544. strange. They decided to do the Traditional Korean style wedding so Anthony had
1545. never seen it done and even had to ask his dad to explain some of the Korean
1546. words that aren’t in use anymore. So his English version involved a good deal
1547. of pictures and sound effects to try and get the point across. For example! The
1548. first section the couple bows to the bird. So he doesn’t know this English word
1549. and describes it as “the bird at the beach with the caw caw!” with an
1550. accompanying stick figure drawing! English to English translation: Seagull. It
1551. was a long night.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1552. <br />
1553. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1554. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The script
1555. is step by step directions 1<sup>st</sup> the groom bows once then the bride
1556. bows twice and so on. The plan was that the pastor would give the line in
1557. Korean, then her Italian friend would read the Italian translation and I would
1558. read the English so Pina would know what she was suposta do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the wedding ceremony the next morning it
1559. turns out we are outside in the area between four temples. All the guests stood
1560. on the temple steps which formed a square in the middle that the ceremony table
1561. was set up in. Anthony gave the script to one of his Korean friends to help me
1562. and Enzo keep in time with the translations. However his friend spoke very
1563. little English so Anthony told him to just use Chinese with us! Just follow
1564. this with me, we are in Korea and the Korean is telling us in Chinese, when to
1565. translate the Italian and then English. Awesome! However, no one told the
1566. Korean pastor the translation plans. So by the time he took his first breath
1567. for us to read the 1<sup>st</sup> translation he had already give 5 steps. Luckily
1568. the Korean bride has 2 assistants because you can barely move in the
1569. traditional dress. But they literally pushed and pulled her like a rag doll
1570. through the ceremony because the Italian and English directions were so far off
1571. and she couldn’t understand any of the Korean!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1572. <br />
1573. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1574. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">And for clarification
1575. the “bird at the beach with the ‘caw caw!’” ended up being a duck! How? So in
1576. Korea ducks mate for life and are a sign of lifelong commitment, not seagulls.
1577. They are like the western idea of turtle doves. No country likes seagulls, I should
1578. have known.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1579. <br />
1580. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1581. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of the ceremony my accompany track
1582. started playing and I already had the mic from my butchered translation so I just
1583. started singing from where I was standing in the front of the audience and
1584. Anthony motioned for me to come down with them. So I did the slow dramatic song
1585. walk looking at the couple the whole time. I felt like a rock star, I love a
1586. cordless mic. And then the last chorus they pulled me to stand between the
1587. couple and we swayed together. It was awesome! I switched up the words but I don’t
1588. think anyone noticed and most people there didn’t speak English anyways so I
1589. could have said anything I wanted! Pina was completely shocked and kinda let
1590. her relax after feeling so lost in the ceremony.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1591. <br />
1592. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1593. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then the
1594. couple went inside one of the main temple where a sitting area was set up. I
1595. really liked this part. All of the important guest came in and sat with them
1596. one at a time. Some gave gifts or shared some symbolic foods and it seemed like
1597. they gave some wedding tips or good wishes. Starting with the parents, then
1598. uncles, then family friends, and all the others could stand just outside the
1599. room and take pictures. But there was still that separation that made it feel
1600. more intimate. I waited around with the couple while they did the wedding
1601. photos and everything and then we went off to the reception. I was in the foreigner
1602. group so we stuck close by the couple for the whole trip. It was Pina’s mom,
1603. brother and uncle then her Enzo, her Italian friend she met in Beijing, Yana,
1604. Taro and me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
1605. <br />
1606. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1607. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t know
1608. why I was surprised when we got to the restaurant and there were no chairs. But
1609. I was. For some reason I imagined my being in a skirt would change the sitting
1610. on the floor culture I had experienced the day before. It was also not like the
1611. reception I had envisioned by western standards. In the west meals are a very
1612. social thing but it doesn’t seem to be that way in Korea. The wedding lunch
1613. seemed more like the hospitality of giving someone food that shows up at meal
1614. time, rather than a celebration. As soon as we got there many guest had already
1615. finished and immediately came to say their goodbyes to the couple. I sat at the
1616. foreigner table and as you can imagine the couple was pretty busy. We had an
1617. extra person at our table which caused some confusion with one person missing their
1618. rice, another without a plate and so on. I got up the strength to call over the
1619. waitress and try my best to mime our requests. She responded by taking a deep
1620. breath and answering very slowly and clearly… in Korean. We smiled until she
1621. scurried away. When I caught eyes with my friends we bust out laughing at the
1622. same time. She was so patient and so clear with her answer but we were
1623. completely lost! So as I learned very quickly in China, when in doubt just
1624. smile and nod.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1626.  
1627. <br />
1628. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1629. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">So the day after I moved into my apartment my school said we
1630. would have an important meeting with the Shenzhen Education Bureau the next
1631. morning and be ready by 8am. They had mentioned something about some important
1632. people from the government coming to evaluate our school and they would want to
1633. meet us, so I assumed this is what that was about. The night before I had come
1634. home late to find my AC was broken. It was too late to call anyone so I
1635. suffered through the night, but it was BAD! There is no kind of heat like
1636. Shenzhen heat. Everyone says its Florida weather because it’s about the same
1637. distance from the equator, it’s not true. Shenzhen heat is like walking beside
1638. a fire breathing dragon. The second you step out from under a shady tree it is
1639. literally DOUBLE the heat. I can feel the sun cooking my skin. In DC they say
1640. it feels as hot as Florida because the humidity is so high, well I kind you
1641. know there are days in Shenzhen with 100% humidity. I always thought 100%
1642. humidity would be the same as rain, wrong! You walk outside and your whole body
1643. is damp, not even from sweat yet, this is just the humidity! They you walk down
1644. the 6 flights of stairs and you start sweating too. There are just TOO many
1645. people and not enough airflow. You stand in line and people are just touching
1646. you on all sides, but luckily you are all wet and sweaty so it doesn’t matter.
1647. I am talking get home and you have sweated through ALL layers of clothes, 3
1648. showers a day and yours still sweating, hot. SO yes Shenzhen is hot and no AC
1649. is not an option, but I suffered through somehow.</span></div>
1650. <br />
1651. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1652. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">The good part of this story is I had no problem waking up in
1653. the morning because I was up every hour praying it was time to meet them so I
1654. could get into the AC! I finally got up and showered and everything and went
1655. down to the office early to see if someone could help me with my AC. My teacher
1656. made a few calls and said she would check on it later because the government
1657. people would be there any minute. After waiting around almost an hour no one
1658. had showed up. Finally Melissa, my teacher, decides maybe we have time to check
1659. the AC after all. And don’t you know the second we get to my apartment she gets
1660. a call that the people have arrived and are waiting for me! Of course! So I
1661. leave my keys with her and I run back down to the office. I wasn’t there to see
1662. how she magically fixed it, because I had climbed on furniture to get to it,
1663. pushed every button, swore and hit it with a broom all without any luck!
1664. Shocking</span></div>
1665. <br />
1666. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1667. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">SO back at the office these two young representatives from
1668. the education bureau hand us this lesson plan booklet and our teaching
1669. schedules, with the advice that the old people are very slow and we will need
1670. to be very patient with them. So without any discussion I had somehow agreed to
1671. co-teach a community group of “the old people” with one of the other foreign
1672. teachers. And someday the mayor of Shenzhen was going to come and observe the
1673. class to see if the city was following the government order that all
1674. communities should be learning English. The only question asked was, so which
1675. one of you will do the first class this afternoon? Like today? Ok fine! So next
1676. thing I know they are walking us over to the community center were we will have
1677. classes. I don’t know how such little Chinese people with shorter legs than me
1678. can walk to so fast! But I get there to out of breath to voice any objections
1679. and that settles it. So now until further notice I teach the old people twice a
1680. week. Oh china!</span></div>
1681. <br />
1682. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1683. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">It turns out my class is about 20 women that look to be
1684. about in their 60s and 2 men about the same age. They speak NO English, which
1685. is a big change from my advanced High schoolers. However, they are happy as can
1686. be to repeat the same sentence for a full hour! I keep wanted to add more but
1687. they will stay repeating over and over to slow me down. I teach for an hour and
1688. a half so 45mins in I tried to give them a break and they weren’t having it,
1689. they just stared at me in silence until I gave up on the idea and started
1690. teaching again! Their favorite thing to do is once I give them a sample conversation
1691. and we read it aloud 100 times they pair up and practice with each other. Then
1692. I come around and ask them to read for me one at a time. This is where I really
1693. get to see their personalities. </span></div>
1694. <br />
1695. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1696. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have one woman who gets so shy and will hide from me every
1697. time I come over to her. She will see me 4 people over and I will smile and she
1698. giggles and hides her face like a school girl! So cute! She will just now read
1699. for me after working together for a few weeks but she will talk so quietly I can
1700. barely hear her. And she still can’t make eye contact for more than a second
1701. before shying away.</span></div>
1702. <br />
1703. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1704. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another woman is so eager to learn she will always grab me
1705. when I am a few people away and want me to skip over to help her, then I will
1706. go back where I was and she will do the same thing! Once it is her turn to work
1707. with me she always wants to hold my arm so no one else can get my attention.
1708. She tries so hard, but I can tell its very difficult for her. One day when she
1709. read the whole convo perfectly I was so excited I clapped! And she gave me the
1710. pucker lips! As if to say, “come on I’m always this good?!” I like the attitude!</span></div>
1711. <br />
1712. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1713. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">My other favorite likes to correct everyone around her. When
1714. I say show how to pronounce something and they repeat it, she jumps in and says,
1715. “no like this!” but still says in exactly like before that I was trying to
1716. correct. The word was healthy, which is just cruel because the “th” and the “L”
1717. at the end of the word are both really hard for Chinese speakers. So I tell
1718. them to watch my tongue and do the same thing. So then she was over doing it,
1719. playing teacher and spit all over the table! So I told her she had to hold her
1720. hand over her mouth when she did it from now on! Later, she asked me in Chinese
1721. if I had any children, and once I figured out what she meant I thought for a
1722. minute how to explain in English she would understand. So I repeated the
1723. question in English and made my best pouty face, shook my head and pointed to
1724. my ring figure, “no husband!” I shook my head again making the baby gesture,
1725. “so, no baby! Only me!” they all laughed and my little teacher repeated, “no
1726. husband no baby! Haha” then she took off her ring and held it out as if to give
1727. to me, “yes? haha!”</span></div>
1728. <br />
1729. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1730. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will see my ladies on the street sometimes and I always
1731. try to say hello. They get so excited! “Laoshi! Uhhhh hello, hello, how are
1732. you?” The other day one lady shared her umbrella with me all the way to the
1733. store even though I tried to refuse. It is hard to explain in simple English
1734. that American’s only use the umbrella in the rain. At the supermarket today I
1735. ran into one of my ladies with her friend and she grabbed my arm and yammered
1736. away at me in Chinese dragging me around the aisle. Finally when I had lost all
1737. context to guess her meaning I answered, “wo ting bu dong, I don’t understand!”
1738. Apparently that was the end of the tour, she quickly replied, “OK bye-bye!” and
1739. scurried away! Its nice to have that connection with the older people in the
1740. community. For the most part it is only people my age or younger that seem to
1741. reach out to foreigners. I always got the feeling that only people didn’t see
1742. the value in foreigners and were still holding on to the past when foreigners
1743. were not allowed in china. Now I think it is more that they are just not as
1744. comfortable or confident around foreigners as the younger generation. It’s hard
1745. for me to imagine that 50 years ago no foreigners were allowed inside of china.
1746. So growing up in those times would have been a lot different than my high
1747. school students, who have had a foreign teacher every year since kindergarten!</span></div>
1748. <br />
1749. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1750. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">As much as I enjoy teaching my older students, I would like
1751. it a lot better if I were getting paid! My co-teacher has been a lot more
1752. active than me about trying to figure out if, when, and how we will get paid.
1753. So fair after much drama the answer seems to be YES… to all 3 questions. Oh
1754. China!</span></div>

1762.  
1763. <br />
1764. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1765. <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Living in a city of 14 million people I
1766. forget the joy of open space. If there is one thing Daniels hometown offers its
1767. space. You could stand on his roof top and there it’s nothing but mountains as
1768. far as you can see. We went off to explore the forest and walked for hours
1769. without seeing or hearing another soul. Sounds so romantic, until he sees a
1770. grasshopper and goes into hunting mode. Or he rushes out in front of me and I
1771. slide off the path and into a sticker bush. One day I will be a nature girl but
1772. it’s gonna take some time.<br />
1773. Another simple pleasure was the mountain springs. In China I am so used to
1774. boiling everything and then burning my tongue BC I'm too impatient to wait for
1775. the water to cool off before you drink it. Or buying so much bottled water I have
1776. a tower of plastic bottles taking over my apartment. Daniels house has well
1777. water that isn't polluted BC it’s such a rural area, so we drank specked to
1778. hand. Simple joys!<br />
1779. When ever we left the house I always asked if I should bring some water and he
1780. replied, "We will find some in the nature"<br />
1781. Natural was also an attribute you can't get in the city. I literally dug a
1782. water chestnut out of the dirty, pulled the peel back and took a bite! It
1783. doesn't get any fresher than that. The city girl in me wanted to wash my hands
1784. and scrub the peel first but I slowly learned to get over myself. I was covered
1785. in dirty all week, I used an outhouse with bees swarming my lady parts, i
1786. showered in a bucket, I sat on chairs 4 inches from the ground, I ate with a
1787. chicken pecking the scraps under my feet, I feasted on wasps and grasshoppers!
1788. I'm hard core country!<br />
1789. The country also brings out another side off Daniel I don't see much in the
1790. city. He becomes so manly on the farm. I'm so city I don't even know the name
1791. of it, but he carried around this big c-shaped knife everywhere we went
1792. clearing the path in front of us. He stood up randomly on day and announced, "I
1793. will cut down that tree! We needn't it." Climbs up the tree and starts
1794. hacking away. I of coarse freak out and stand under the tree nagging him to be
1795. careful until I almost get hit by falling branches and run back up to the
1796. house. I think he did it on purpose, but it worked.<br />
1797. I also find my telling him to be careful or not to do something seems to have
1798. the opposite effect on him! He will push harder, climb higher with the boost of
1799. adrenaline he gets from trying to prove me wrong. Boys will be boys, he is so
1800. different but I find more and more he is all boy.<br />
1801. I also love seeing him with the kids. He is going to be such a good dad. I have
1802. to admire the country parenting style. Daniel said he wanted to bring presents
1803. for the kids but it was no use giving toys BC they would break them in 2
1804. seconds; when tested this theory proved 100% true. The kids really didn't have
1805. any toys in the whole house. They wanted to be where we were. When we collected
1806. nuts the kids were right beside us cracking the shells with rocks. The teacher
1807. in me wanted to make a game out of every task, but they just looked at me like
1808. I was crazy. I would tickle fight with the little boy and then a few minutes
1809. later he would run off to stand between Daniels legs while we watched the
1810. wasps! Come on! I'm way more fun than wasps! And Daniel didn't even touch the
1811. boy or speak to him; the boy was content just to be with him. <br />
1812. In the USA I find we often over parent. My first instinct is to over protect
1813. the kids, don't touch that berry it might be poisonous, don't go in the mud
1814. you'll get dirty, don't climb on that you might fall... These kids spit the
1815. berries out when they didn't taste good, washed of the mud when they got home
1816. and brushed themselves off when they fell. Now they were also naughty and got
1817. into everything and made a mess but they are kids and it didn't matter. It was
1818. really stressful forcing myself to relax! <br />
1819. One of the cutest moments was watching the little boy carry around this plastic
1820. butter knife using it to "help" cut the branches with Daniel. He
1821. would even carry it in his belt loop like his uncle. I heard him scream when he
1822. was play fighting with his older sister, "I have a knife!" As he held
1823. it up proudly. Every stick or rock was a gun and they threw nuts as grenades
1824. and smeared berries on each other’s skin as if it was blood! So imaginative,
1825. who needs toys; the whole mountain was their play ground. I loved it but was
1826. glad to retire from aunt duty at the end of the week.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

1828. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1829. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Wasps
1830. wars<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1831. <br />
1832. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1833. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Our
1834. first night with Daniel’s family we are greeted by his dad, proudly holding a
1835. plastic bag. I peer inside to see it’s a wasp nest! I immediately yelp and jump
1836. back, or course. He in turn laughed and handed the bag to his grandchildren,
1837. age 5 and 7. They fearlessly squat down in the kitchen picking the eggs and
1838. wasps out of the nest. I can see some of them still flapping their wings and I
1839. couldn’t bear to watch the rest! Apparently fried wasps are a delicacy in Guilin
1840. and you can sell the wasps for 100 kuai per kg ($15). It is actually delicious!
1841. I got pictures! The kids loved it too, like the dad had to keep moving the bowl
1842. out of the way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1843. <br />
1844. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1845. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
1846. asked Daniel how his dad caught them without getting stung and his answer was, “he
1847. has the raincoat.” It took me a minute to realize what he meant. I knew his dad
1848. has bees too, so he must have meant the bee keeper suit, same thing right? I
1849. wouldn’t be surprised if he wore and actual rain coat though, they seem to not
1850. need a lot of the equipment I would think was standard. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1851. <br />
1852. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1853. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Later
1854. that week I got to see first-hand how you hunt for wasps. I almost died of
1855. boredom. We where suposta be on a nature walk exploring the forest, but I ended
1856. up watching for hops. Btw hops is also a local delicacy I got to try, not as
1857. impressive but still not bad. And another clarification ‘hops’ is the chinglish
1858. for grasshoppers, which Daniel fails to see any difference in the terms. So
1859. back to the wasp hunting, you catch a grasshopper and put it on a stick to feed
1860. it to the wasp. The goal is that the wasp will carry the grasshopper back to
1861. the nest. And here is the fun part, we run after the wasp that instantly
1862. disappears into the sky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
1863. <br />
1864. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1865. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So
1866. Daniel gets the idea that he should tie a feather on top the wasp so we can see
1867. it easier. Here is the example of lack of equipment. Daniel decides he will
1868. take a plastic grocery bag, no gloves, no raincoat, just a bag! I told him it
1869. was an awful idea but I was out voted. His plan is that he will catch the wasp
1870. and put the feather around its head and I can pull the tie, hell no! So the
1871. neighbors come out to help as well as his niece and nephew. So I see Daniel
1872. run off on his own and I assume he got stung or something. Me and his nephew go
1873. after him to see if I can help. When I get close I realize he is still holding
1874. the stupid wasp with the feather on it! It seems like his wings are damaged because
1875. it won’t fly away when he lets go. So he picks it up and throws it in the air
1876. again. And of course it LANDS ON ME! I freaked out! And start jumping around
1877. and it falls down my shirt! I’m screaming and shaking it out of my shirt scared
1878. to death I’m gonna get stung and die! And then it falls down and lands on my
1879. jeans! Instead of helping me Daniel LAUGHS AT ME! He tells me after the fact
1880. that he already took out the stinger, but I still don’t care. And I look up the
1881. road and his neighbors are laughing too. I was so embarrassed first off that I was
1882. screaming like a fool and then probably flashed the whole neighborhood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1883. <br />
1884. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1885. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
1886. stormed off and marched right back to his house and I couldn’t fight back the
1887. tears when the little girl held my hand to walk back with me. I don’t think I will
1888. ever get used to the Chinese laughter. They laugh in any uncomfortable
1889. situation. I hate being laughed at when I don’t understand what’s going on. Now I
1890. love to make people laugh, when I am in on the joke. But it is very different
1891. to be laughed at. All week I could only pick up on a word here or there and it
1892. was all new customs and I didn’t know how to act. Every time I did anything his
1893. family would laugh; anytime I use my Chinese, eat with chopsticks, make a face
1894. when I eat something new. I know they are just not used to foreigners. But I still
1895. don’t like it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1896. <br />
1897. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1898. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
1899. Daniel finally came back the kids had told the whole story to his parents so he was getting yelled
1900. at from all 5 of us! It made me happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1901. <br />
1902. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1903. </div>
1904. <br />
1905. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1906. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mama
1907. sucked my faced <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1908. <br />
1909. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1910. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
1911. most blogable moment was when Daniel left me alone to go hunting with his dad.
1912. I was stupid and somehow forgot to pack any allergy or headache medicine. So I was
1913. dying! I had been fighting a bad headache all morning and by the afternoon it
1914. was unbearable. I cuddle up in bed to try to sleep it off, but the kids keep
1915. coming in and jumping on the bed or trying to get me to play with them and then
1916. the mama would come and shooed them out. One time she came in and saw
1917. tears in my eyes because the pain was so bad.</span></div>
1918. <br />
1919. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1920. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So
1921. she comes back in with this plastic machine and asks me to sit up and a bunch
1922. of Chinese I didn’t understand. She points it at the center my forehead and I figure
1923. it’s some thermometer or something. It had a plastic cup connected to the top
1924. and you pull the trigger and it sucks the skin into the cup and then detaches
1925. stuck on your face. It pulled so tight that I immediately scrunch my face up
1926. and tears just pour out, then she laughs!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1927. <br />
1928. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1929. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s
1930. the same as fire cupping, like in the new karate kid! Its suposta be Chinese medicine,
1931. I’ve had it done on my back before. And they say it is good for you if you
1932. are sick, it will suck out the illness or something. Well I don’t like it. And she
1933. came back to do a second one too! I didn’t have the language to tell her NO,
1934. and I was just overcome with pain. The little boy was the one that finally pushed
1935. the release button to take them off. The worst part is that it leaves a dark burse!
1936. SO I have a knot in the middle of my forehead. Mama says it should only last 2
1937. days but 4 days later I still look like a freak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1938. <br />
1939. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1940. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
1941. reminds me of the grey’s anatomy episode where Christina is getting married to
1942. Burke and she tells Meredith, “Mama took my eyebrows!” I wanted to text the
1943. world, “Mama fire cupped my face!” When Daniel came back he burst out laughing
1944. as soon as he looked at me, then silenced quickly as soon as he looked me in
1945. the eye, “well did it help?” That’s the worst part, it kinda did! But I don’t think
1946. the headache went away, I think I just had a more focused pain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1947. <br />
1948. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1949. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">However,
1950. the next day was the weekly market where the whole village goes to
1951. exchange their crops and stuff. So me and Daniel go together and I meet
1952. all his classmates, neighbors, and family members for the first time with a
1953. huge knot on my forehead. He promised me that it was normal in China and
1954. everyone would know it was from fire cupping. But his other little niece poked
1955. me and asked “what happened” as soon as she saw me… fml<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1956. <br />
1957. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1958. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Money
1959. hungry buses<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1960. <br />
1961. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1962. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
1963. travel part of vacation is always a hassle, but it is a particular annoyance in
1964. China. The crowds are just redonk! My first trip to Guilin, this time 2 years
1965. ago I took the sleeper bus. The best invention ever! Its bunk-beds on a bus! You
1966. crawl into bed in Shenzhen and wake up in Guilin 8 hours later. However for Chinese
1967. New Year the sleeper buses sold out so we had to take the train back. It was
1968. awful bench seats and just tons of people AND 14 hours to get there and UGH!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1969. <br />
1970. <div style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
1971. <span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So this year I made sure we got the tickets
1972. earlier so we would have beds. Daniel went to Guilin early and I rode with my 2
1973. American friends: Heidi and Sarah. So the 3 foreigners travel to this middle of
1974. nowhere bus station outside of Shenzhen city center. Like the only white people
1975. for miles, crazy sticking out in the massive crowds. We finally get a taxi and
1976. he is taking all back roads and we didn’t know where we were or if we were
1977. gonna get there on time. So Heidi being the boldest of the group, asks the driver
1978. to hurry up. He laughs and looks back at the road. Then Heidi asks again, “why
1979. this way not the main road?” and he answers, “there is traffic.” Then he sighs
1980. heavy and turns on the main road, 3 minutes later we are completely stopped in
1981. bumper to bumper traffic. Like people are getting out of their cars and
1982. walking! So the taxi driver turns to Heidi and says, “Traffic!” I couldn’t help
1983. but laugh out loud. He totally showed us, don’t tell me how to do my job! This
1984. is what he does with his life! Finally he asked us what time our tickets where
1985. for and told us, we better get out and walk after he got us as close as he
1986. could. Lol<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1987. <br />
1988. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
1989. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
1990. we walk into the bus station and it’s a mad house people everywhere and the
1991. three of us each hold each other’s backpacks and squeeze through the crowds. After wandering
1992. around a bit we literally ran into a security guard. I handed him my ticket and
1993. gave him my puppy dog eyes. He instantly started leading us pushing people out
1994. of the way until we cleared the whole waiting room in 3 seconds flat. Then
1995. there were so many buses and people everywhere. He turned to say something to
1996. us in Chinese and I just smiled until he gave up and continued to guide us. He
1997. had to ask at least 6 people before we got to the right bus. Turns out this is
1998. NOT a sleeper bus but a regular seat bus! They gave us some crap about how the
1999. sleeper buses couldn’t get there in time because there was too much traffic! We
2000. were super mad because the regular seats are not nearly as comfortable and the regular
2001. seats are less expensive. I called Daniel to see if he would yell at somebody
2002. for me, but he said it would do no good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
2003. <br />
2004. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2005. <span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">THEN
2006. on the way home me and Daniel were riding together and they gave us a regular bus!
2007. When I pushed Daniel to yell at the driver and he tells us that sleeper buses
2008. are against the law now. If that’s true then why did Heidi and Sarah ride home
2009. on a sleeper bus 2 days earlier? And there were literally sleeper buses right
2010. beside us. So I get mad that the man is obviously lying to our face! But that
2011. was better than his first response when we told them we had tickets for a sleeper
2012. bus. He told us, “It’s ok you can sleep here.” NO! No I can’t, actually! There lies the problem. And there is nothing we can do about it. Daniel asked me if I wanted
2013. him to pitch a fit and get our money back for the ticket but then we would have
2014. no way to make it home. It’s such a trap. Then we get on the bus after I pitch
2015. a fit and the stupid bus stops every hour. We had been on the bus 3 hours and I
2016. notice we are only 30 minutes down the road. It turns out that we are taking
2017. all these country roads and stopping to load food and stuff from the countryside
2018. to bring into the city to sell. So they have some greedy money making scheme
2019. going on. I think they over sold the tickets for the sleeper bus so they just switched
2020. it to regular seats so they could fit everyone and made us all cram our stuff
2021. into the overhead bins so they could have more space under the bus for all
2022. their business items. I’m on to you, buddy! A lot of good it will do me though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

2024.  
2025. <br />
2026. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2027. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are many things about China I feel I will never
2028. understand, no matter how long I’m here or how many people I talk to. But I am
2029. thankful to be in the position to get little glimpses!</span></div>
2030. <br />
2031. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2032. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sunday I was on the bus home for my church in Shekou to
2033. Laintang which is usually a little over an hour ride. As soon as we got closer to
2034. the center of the city traffic became a nightmare, like barely moving. A few
2035. people got up to talk to the driver and before long he opens up the doors in
2036. the middle of the road and lets them off the bus! The bus attendant runs to the
2037. front and they chat for awhile the only thing I can catch is “metro”. The whole
2038. bus seems to join in on the conversation until the bus pulls over to the curb,
2039. not at a bus stop mind you, and starts kicking people off. The attendant would
2040. ask each person “where to?” and then respond, “no, metro, go” direct
2041. translation! She didn’t ask me anything, and I didn’t know where I was so I stayed
2042. on the bus with a handful of other people.</span></div>
2043. <br />
2044. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2045. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some of the men moved to the front of the bus, seemingly to
2046. give the driver directions. And next thing I know we are on the highway,
2047. skipping 2 districts worth or bus stops! Even with the detour the ride took
2048. FOREVER! I finally asked the attendant in my crappy Chinglish, “ummm Wo qi
2049. liantang ummmm ma?” which translates, “umm I go liantang ummm huh?” and the
2050. best part of the story is that she also answered in perfect Chinglish, “OK le!”
2051. but then I must have fooled her with my Chinese skills bc she raddled off 3
2052. more questions in full speed Chinese and was surprised when I just smiled and
2053. gave an awkward laugh. </span></div>
2054. <br />
2055. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2056. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">So 2 hours later I finally get home, and my friend txt me
2057. that she was on a bus that was stuck in an anti-Japanese protest! The Uniglo
2058. was closed, the Japanese stake house was closed, and there were extra gaurds
2059. outside the Toyota place by my house. So I look up online Shenzhen Daily, the
2060. local English paper and the site is down, I try to google search and NOTHING
2061. not ONE article would come up for Japan and China! My search had obviously been
2062. censored!</span></div>
2063. <br />
2064. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2065. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">So apparently, anybody who has ever read a newspaper knows
2066. that China and Japan are fighting over “the fishing islands”. I had never read
2067. said paper. I didn’t get it. China has been boycotting Japanese products and
2068. there have been protests and riots all over China. I didn’t know. I asked
2069. Daniel and his response was, “It doesn’t matter.” So like any good teacher, I
2070. used my students for information. Oh yes with the help of Wikipedia! And this
2071. is what I found out…</span></div>
2072. <br />
2073. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2074. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">The fishing island belonged to ancient day China and has
2075. been under debate, pretty much ever since. Recently the Japanese government has
2076. purchased the land on the island from the public in an effort to better control
2077. the island. And my students are not at all happy with APPLE because google maps
2078. on the new I-phone shows the island as part of Japan! Btw, in the whole
2079. discussion this one of the most heated objections! I asked why dose china care
2080. so much about one little island, china is huge and this land is so small? The answer
2081. began with cultural value but then words like oil and resources came up, which
2082. makes more sense to me. Sunday was also a special anniversary of past wars
2083. between Japan and China, again something I was suposta know but didn’t.</span></div>
2084. <br />
2085. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2086. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">During the protests people will destroy anything Japanese.
2087. There are reports of people smashing Japanese made cameras, vandalizing
2088. Japanese stores or companies, and flipping Japanese brand cars! The Cars are
2089. the biggest shock because this even included CHINESE POLICE cars, here in
2090. Shenzhen. So I showed my students the pictures and asked what they thought. They
2091. seem to think it is only a few wild Chinese that are starting these protests
2092. and most people just crowd around in curiosity. And they say the protest is mostly
2093. against Japan, but also against the Chinese government. In Dongmen, one of my
2094. favorite shopping areas, police used tear gas on the protestors. I wasn’t
2095. there, but it must have been pretty out of control. For the most part the
2096. students feel the government encourages the protests, almost as a sense of
2097. Chinese pride. The government even sent out a list of Japanese items to
2098. boycott, by my students hadn’t heard of that. </span></div>
2099. <br />
2100. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2101. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">The new Japanese ambassador to China, was found dead in Tokyo
2102. 3 days ago but no details have been released. This has lead to many rumors of a
2103. possible assassination. I was surprised that this didn’t get a big reaction out
2104. of my students. Few had heard the rumor, but simply replied “maybe true, maybe
2105. nothing”. </span></div>
2106. <br />
2107. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2108. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">They did bring up that all Chinese hate Japan, very matter
2109. of fact. They referenced WWII, but didn’t go into any details. Even my students
2110. that I have taught for over a year would start to say something about the
2111. government, then stop and said, “I don’t want to say out loud.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s interesting to me how hesitant the Chinese
2112. are to speak out against the government when I live in a country who’s government
2113. criticize its self, republic vs democrat. We have bumper stickers publicly
2114. criticizing our leaders or president. My students tell me all the time that
2115. everyone in America hates Bush! To them it seems like Americans have no pride
2116. in our country, but to us it’s the opposite. I criticize my government because
2117. I believe that I can change things for the better. I have been taught to always
2118. express a position or opinion. In China speaking against the government is
2119. speaking against yourself, they hold their tongues to show respect for their
2120. country. I see the point, but it still shocks me as a polar opposite. </span></div>
2121. <br />
2122. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2123. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a side note, last night I was making plans to go out with
2124. friends and one of the girls said she was afraid with all the protests and
2125. things going out and would rather stay in, just to be safe. I called my Italian
2126. friend to see if she wanted to reschedule. She responded, “come on, we will be
2127. inside the restaurant and then inside the KTV, we will stay ‘IN’ it’s just as
2128. safe!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Pina is an amazing woman, well
2129. said!</span></div>

It was mainly centered around 5 high-schoolers and the adult youth leaders. I was worried that I wouldn’t have a place or purpose on the team, since I didn’t have any leadership position. &lt;br /&gt;
2160. <br />
2161. <br />
2162. Our first day there, we attended a church service at the home/community center of Pastor Sam. They had set up chairs for our team along the wall with all the mothers sitting on the floor with their children. I noticed one kid about 2 years old in a cute little sundress or long shirt that was a few sizes to big. She spun around lifting her arms to show that, in fact she was wearing no pants and definitely a HE! The leaders had told us that all of the clothes you see the kids wearing were donated. Another little one run by and bumped into my knee. She looked up at me as if caught off guard and I reached out my arms to see if she would let me hold her. She hesitantly let me pick her up and stand her on my knees with a skeptical look on her face. After a good deal of my smiling, laughing and dancing with her, she finally warmed up to me. The best part was seeing the reactions of the mothers noticing how hard I was trying to engage one of their babies. After my little rebel lost interest in me one of the other mothers handed me her infant and I instantly fell in love. <br />
2163. <br />
2164. I still don’t know her name, but she got me. She must have been about 8 months old, but she could stand on my knees and hold her head up on her own. I stood her up on my knees facing me and laughed in her face and she would smile right back! I would shake her to the beat of the music holding her under her arms and she would dance with me! I got her to show me her little teeth coming in, and even when she started getting fussy, she would quite down as soon as I held her closer. <br />
2165. <br />
2166. Part of the service was prayer concerns and joys. My baby’s mother was one of the women to come forward for prayer. She asked us to pray for her husband because he was sick and unable to work. Later she got one on one prayer from some of our team and confessed that her husband was abusive. When I put the two together I was so impressed with her strength to “pray for those that hurt you” even as a new Christian, she got it, and was able to live the parts of the faith that even mature Christians struggle with. <br />
2167. <br />
2168. The joy testimonies struck me as well. One woman shared a joy that her mother was an alcoholic and stays up drunk all night and no one in the family can sleep. She said she constantly prays for her and God answered her prayers that the mother passed out and went straight to sleep through the night, which allowed the rest of the family to have a good nights sleep. We saw the living conditions later in the week and the whole family would have been in a one room home; so literally, no one could sleep with the mother up all night, but what an odd joy. I was amazed that they could find joy even in such a painful situation. Another praise was that the floods only destroyed PART of the house.<br />
2169. <br />
2170. It really makes me reevaluate the things that I complain about. Even the way the children laugh and play. It’s like they don’t even know they are poor. I wonder if I could keep up my hope and positivity in such desperate situations. One of our leaders told us most of these families make about $1 a day. And some of the families have up to 6 kids! So, all of their money goes to food; everything else they have is donated. They grow up relying on gifts to survive. The other shocking fact is that the country is 90% Buddhist and less that 1% Christian, but Christians are the only ones they give aid to these poor communities. So even though they grow up in a very Buddhist culture, they see Christians as the ones that are helping them. <br />
2171. <br />
2172. When I was trying to explain why I was going to Cambodia, Daniel said to me, “Why do you have to pay to go help them, they should being paying you.” The trip also cost about $500 which is not that much for me to spend, but that would be a year’s salary for some of these people. So it was a valid question to consider when Daniel asked me, “Why not just send the money and stay home?” It’s still hard to think of an answer that someone who has never gone on a mission trip could understand. But I have to believe my presence there made a difference. I definitely made an impression! They will remember the crazy blonde kissing all over my baby, dancing and singing with the kids and handing out food. Money is important; they need it to meet their physical needs. But money doesn’t show love. And they need to know our reason for giving is that God loves ALL of them and we are supposed to show that love. <br />

2174. There are days when I find myself in situations where I think, I am the worst teacher ever. How have they not fired me yet? I will give you two examples:<br />
2175. <br />
2176. A few weeks ago on a Monday night I went to the McDonalds for dinner. As I am sitting there I notice a table of my students outside. I consider saying hello until I realize it is 5 of my boys sitting around shirtless and chasing their cheese burgers with beer! I decided the polite thing to do is keep my head down and walk by like I don’t notice. But you know as soon as I came outside the shout MISS CHRISTY! HELLO! So I have to reward their English. I say hello and point to the 5 beer bottles and ask, “Was it a hard day? Why so much beer?” Mind you they are all drinking 40s out of the bottle, and most Chinese men I know get drunk off of one beer! It is a school night and they have class at 7:30 the next morning; They are 16 years old and outside less than a block from the school! <br />
2177. <br />
2178. They assure me, “we are the school sports winner, and this is our reward!” My first thought is dear God please tell me the school did not give them beer. But instead being the good teacher I am, I slowly reach for a bottle and pretend to steal it saying, “for me?” to which they respond by pulling up a chair for me to join them. I laughed and assured them I was just kidding. “ok see you in class, bye-bye!” and I scurried off awkwardly. This was obviously much more shocking to me than them. Is it normal for teachers to drink with their 16 year old students? In public? Shirtless? Umm no!<br />
2179. <br />
2180. On a Thursday after my classes I decided to leave early and go out to meet some friends. I don’t think I am supposed to stay in my office all day, but all the Chinese teachers do, so I feel a little guilty leaving early and coming in late. But anyway I get on the bus and 2 of my students call my name. The girls are both foreign exchange students, one from Germany and one from Lithuania, both with very good English. As foreigners we have a sort of different bond than the normal student-teacher relationship. We small talk and realize we are heading the same direction. Then one of the girls tells me she is on her way to get a tattoo, in Dongmen! We had done a tattoo lesson last month and the students told me you can get tattoos in Dongmen for 15 kuai ($3)! I responded that discount price also includes AIDS, and it wasn’t a good idea! Side note I clearly stated in my class that I was not encouraging them to get tattoos and they are less common than the movies and celebrities would make it seem.<br />
2181. <br />
2182. She assured me that they had met the artist and his shop was very clean and his sketch was very impressive. I told them again to be careful. Then I looked around and asked, “are you done with classes for the day or did you leave early?” the girls look at each other and then giggle, “are we allowed to tell you we are skipping?” to which I reply “OMG I’m going to get fired, if anyone sees us skipping together!” <br />
2183. <br />
2184. So somehow it came up that the girl had a new Chinese boyfriend and the mom in me went into over drive. Having heard not the greatest things about Chinese boys I tried to warn her in a friendly way of the cultural conflicts you run into. Chinese men expect the girls to be very submissive and will do anything to impress you when you are first dating and then completely change once they get what they want, or think you are hooked. They are often very serious very quickly and bring up marriage after the first date! Her response was “don’t worry, he is very western. He learned English from listening to Eminem and talks just like him!”<br />
2185. <br />
2186. “Oh no, his name isn’t slim is it?”<br />
2187. <br />
2188. “How do you know Slim?”<br />
2189. <br />
2190. “I do not like him!” <br />
2191. <br />
2192. the thought of this jerk corrupting my favorite student made me sick… and here is why:<br />
2193. <br />
2194. A few months ago I was walking around Dafen, the art village, and I hear 2 guys speaking English. I turn to see a foreigner and a Chinese guy speaking in almost an American accent. I whispered the Heidi, “did you hear that, its freakin’ me out.” I always notice foreigners because they are often in my company, since there are 150 of us. The Chinese guy must have super human hearing because he turns around and says, “Who is freakin’ you out? Me or him? I’m Chinese but I speak 3 languages; Chinese, English and Nigga talk!”<br />
2195. <br />
2196. Without thinking I respond, “You’re gonna get shot.” <br />
2197. <br />
2198. He pulls on his saggy pants and says, “Bitch, I got a gun. You think I’m scared.”<br />
2199. <br />
2200. This boy was 5 foot tall, 80 pounds looking like a 12 year old! He aint got no gun! This is China, no one has guns! The ghetto in me came out and I yell out, “Excuse you? Who do you think you’re talking to like that?” and he walks off laughing with his friend. These idiot kids repeat crap they hear in movies, but you say it to the wrong person and you’re gonna get hit. American’s don’t put up with ignorance like that. So I’m telling the story to Roz and she tells me she knows the guy, he is a high school drop out that learned English from listening to rap music and calls himself Slim. Telling the story to my students they say the same thing, “yea that sounds like Slim. But he can be nice too.” <br />
2201. <br />
2202. I go off on another mama rank that you have to be careful who you spend your time with because people rub off on you. And you can’t talk like that, because you never know when you are going to say it in front of the wrong person. <br />
2203. <br />
2204. But she responds, “Don’t worry, I am not dating Slim. I am dating his best friend, Dragon! He is a KFC delivery boy.”<br />

2206. No one likes to be sick, but being sick in a foreign country adds a whole new level of misery. One of the first Chinese phrases I learned was “wo you laoduzi.” This was supposed to be the phrase to get out of whatever your school wanted you to do. I learned the literal meaning is “I have diarrhea.”<br />
2207. <br />
2208. I dread going to the doctor’s anyway, but I especially dread Chinese hospitals. They have a smell that is hard to describe. Chinese people go to the doctor for anything; a cough, a headache, whatever. There is no privacy or social norms like in the US. The doctors are not respected and often seen as money hungry or even corrupt. As soon as you sign in with a nurse, you pick which doctor you want to see and just line up outside their door. So whether you are there for a cold or for a heart attack you just stand by the door. Sometimes while you are in the room with the doctor he is doing other paper work or people will walk in and hand him things to sign. There is nothing to stop overly pushy patients from cutting the line and walking straight up to the doctor even if he is in the middle of examining another patient. The lab doesn’t have the little partitions or modesty curtain between people. So it is just a circle of blood work and you can’t look away because there are people everywhere. All this would be enough to keep me away, but now let’s add the language barrier.<br />
2209. <br />
2210. I went to a fancy dinner Sunday night and everything was delicious. However, at midnight I had such bad stomach pain it woke me up from my sleep. I was up all night running back and forth to the bathroom. I called out of work the next morning it was so bad, but I was sure I would be fine by my afternoon class. I made it to my English Club at noon, but my students literally sent me home! It was unimaginable to me! And not just like leave so we can goof off, they were offering to come in again on their lunch break the next day to finish the assignment. My girls looked at me and said, “You don’t look so good. You should be in bed, go have a good rest. We will work later.” <br />
2211. <br />
2212. I couldn’t decided which would be more awkward, having my boyfriend tell the doctor about my diarrhea or one of my co-workers. I don’t talk about those things, with anyone, ever. It’s embarrassing for me. But my boyfriend insisted that he would come take care of me. So before I let him in my apartment I tell him I wasn’t expecting anyone to come over and I hadn’t cleaned and I didn’t want to hear it! So I am still weak and looking awful so I immediately crawl back into bed. He starts looking around and decides he knows why I am sick. He often tells me it is because I ate this or that and not pig feet or whatever Chinese medicine. And he bases this advice on the fact that he is, “1/4th doctor.” Meaning that his grandfather studied Chinese medicine and he somehow inherited ¼ of his knowledge. It’s a fight I can’t win, but Lord knows I have tired.<br />
2213. <br />
2214. Today his professional diagnosis was that my apartment had bad feng shui. The bed was facing north and needed to be south or east, also it was too close to the bathroom. His seriousness made me laugh and cry at the same time as I pulled the covers over my head. I was too weak to try and convince him this theory was flawed. “Did you bring me any medicine?” I asked to change the subject. There is this smelly liquid you drink and it will make you vomit almost immediately. It sounds awful but if you have some sort of food poisoning it will clear your system and it actually works. Chinese food often doesn’t agree with me so I know this medicine well, and apparently it is a root or something so it’s natural. Anyway, Daniel gave me some medicine that made it stop hurting long enough for me to fall asleep. I wake up and see him cleaning my apartment. I jump up and tell him he needs to stop, and I was embarrassed by my mess and didn’t want him to feel like he needed to do it. I know how to clean, I will clean, just not while I can barely move. So then he continues that he was just cleaning enough to move the furniture. During my protesting he is already pushing furniture around and reaching for the bed. Even in my weak state, I am sassy enough to push him out of the way and jump on the bed in protest saying, “If you want to move the bed, you will have to do it with me in it!” He burst into laughter at the sight on me squatting on the bed on all fours as If I were a mama bear protecting her young. I tell him all the time his English is wonderful but he has clearly not had enough listening practice! It’s funny now but at the moment I really was ready to attack.<br />
2215. <br />
2216. After the medicine wore off he convinced me I needed to go to the doctor. Luckily my school has a clinic with a 24hour nurse, so I got to skip the hellish Chinese hospital. But it was still embarrassing describing my poop in detail to my boyfriend then having him translate for the nurse. Even with his good English, you don’t learn health terms in foreign language books. It was funny to hear him search for words and then try to describe diarrhea and constipation with hand motions instead of words. One thing I had to be careful with Daniel was making sure that he was telling me exactly what the nurse said, and not inserting his own opinions. I caught him once when she gave a 2 word phrase and Daniel turns to me and gives the long translation, “she says it is cold outside so you need to eat and drink only hot things. If you have ice cream when it is cold it will hurt your stomach.” I have often heard this advice from Daniel because he can’t understand why my foreign friends and I go to Coldstone in the winter. There is NO WAY that the nurse said that, there cannot be any scientific proof that you can’t eat cold things when it is cold out. The final diagnosis was to take these weird pellets and eat rice porridge with fish. Total cost: 2 kuai (30 cents).<br />
2217. <br />
2218. I somehow made it to my classes the next day but never got to feeling any better. At one point I was sweating and had to sit down in one class and even told them to finish reading the passage and I would be right back. I ran to the bathroom and took some more medicine. Of course when I came back to the class they were playing basketball and picking each other up. At least I didn’t owe anyone any favors for covering my class. I was in bed the entire day Wednesday and Thursday. Daniel convinced me to ask my contact teacher to go to the clinic again with me. <br />
2219. <br />
2220. This time it was the middle of the day so there were students sitting in the room listening as well. So Melissa is trying to translate and surprisingly her English isn’t nearly as good as Daniel’s and the questions seem to be a lot more technical. Her translation for diarrhea was, “when you sit on the toilet it’s like WOOSH with poo, yes?” So embarrassing, but wait it gets better. She asked if I was pregnant and I said no and then she said maybe it has something to do with that. She starts searching for words and then says, “the woman, every month, the comes out… you know?” Oh my period. I should have known that’s what she meant; sometimes the brat in me wants to play dumb just to see how else you would explain these things with limited English. <br />
2221. <br />
2222. Thank God I made a full recovery and that is hopefully my last doctor’s visit.<br />

I don’t know how it started or exactly what was said but I know it ended up an hour long debate about Christianity and me at a loss for words.&lt;br /&gt;
2224. <br />
2225. My friend was raised in the church as, what I would call, a C&E Catholic (Christmas and Easter). He had heard the Christian jargon year after year and was left with more questions than answers. My friend was going to a party with me and Roz that night and the 3 of us were traveling together. I think I mentioned that I wasn’t going to drink that night, because I had given up alcohol for Lent. He asked if I was Catholic, assuming that Lent was only a Catholic thing and then asked what the difference between Catholic and Methodist was. <br />
2226. <br />
2227. I poorly explained that the big difference is Catholic and Protestant which Roz could explain a lot better since she went to Catholic school and knew the details of both. Then expanded that we follow the teachings of John Wesley but mostly we focus on loving everyone equally and have a lot of loose interpretations on current topics. Giving Homosexuality as an example where the church says the lifestyle is a sin but we still accept the individuals and can have gay members and baptize couple’s children. <br />
2228. <br />
2229. I think all of that is correct but I know it’s not best way to put my church in a positive light. I surprised myself describing it as “more of a hippie love everyone” idea as opposed to the bible belt extreme. What made me down play something that I believe so strongly in?<br />
2230. <br />
2231. This is kinda how it went as far as I can remember:<br />
2232. <br />
2233. he asked, “how can Jesus and God be equal if he is the Father?”<br />
2234. <br />
2235. “We believe in the trinity”<br />
2236. <br />
2237. “I never got that either.”<br />
2238. <br />
2239. “Oh oh I know this one! The best explanation I have heard is that the trinity is like water. It’s the same substance in 3 forms. If God is the water, Jesus is ice and the Holy Spirit is gas. They are all the same thing just different aspects.”<br />
2240. <br />
2241. “So he’s not really the father?”<br />
2242. <br />
2243. “I always saw that as personification. It’s not literal it’s more to explain the relationship”<br />
2244. <br />
2245. “Why do you need all three is God powerful enough on his own? Like does the holy spirit do anything?”<br />
2246. <br />
2247. “The holy spirit lives within you, every believer”<br />
2248. <br />
2249. “And does what?”<br />
2250. <br />
2251. “Lives there, stays with you, guides you, your own little piece of God.”<br />
2252. <br />
2253. “So why did Jesus have to come as a baby, wouldn’t it be easier to come as a man? That’s when he did stuff.”<br />
2254. <br />
2255. “Jesus is supposed to be our example as humans. He is an example for how you should act as a baby, as a teenager, and as an adult.”<br />
2256. <br />
2257. “But there is nothing in the bible about his childhood.”<br />
2258. <br />
2259. “True. It makes him more relatable because he went through every part of human life and was still perfect. He never sinned.”<br />
2260. <br />
2261. “So what does his dying have to do with me? Wasn’t that God’s plan?”<br />
2262. <br />
2263. “He took on the sins of the world and saved us from death.”<br />
2264. <br />
2265. “See I don’t get that? How does his dying change anything, people still die.”<br />
2266. <br />
2267. “He was the Lamb, it was like a sacrifice from old days. You know?”<br />
2268. <br />
2269. “No.”<br />
2270. <br />
2271. “In the Old Testament you had to give the best of your animals or crops or whatever as a sacrifice. It shows appreciation and priorities and stuff. You give your best to God first. And that’s also how the priests survived, because they could eat a portion or something as part of the ritual. And your sacrifice is supposed to be perfect. You can’t give a sick lamb or something because that’s just wrong. So Jesus is the sacrifice.”<br />
2272. <br />
2273. “So what about all of the beating and cruelty?”<br />
2274. <br />
2275. “He was killed as a criminal. So it’s not the way he died that’s important, that was just how they did it back then. It was that he was perfect without sin and he was killed as a criminal. Everyone sins and deserves death but he gives us a chance for heaven.”<br />
2276. <br />
2277. “So what’s the point of us being on the earth? If he wants us all in heaven couldn’t we just skip all this and start in heaven.”<br />
2278. <br />
2279. “He wants us to choose him. It’s like a test.”<br />
2280. <br />
2281. “How could he create me as a logical man and expect me to believe something illogical?”<br />
2282. <br />
2283. “It’s the way you look at things. I feel like I am very logically, I’m a freakin econ major that’s how my brain works. But for me God is perfectly logical.”<br />
2284. <br />
2285. “How can I believe in something I can’t prove? Give me one other example of something you believe without proof.”<br />
2286. <br />
2287. “Wind. You can’t see it, but you know it’s there because you can feel it and you see the effects.”<br />
2288. <br />
2289. “How do you feel God?”<br />
2290. <br />
2291. “It sounds crazy but I feel him in music. Not just in my mind, physically too. I will cry and shake, I feel dizzy.”<br />
2292. <br />
2293. “How do you know that’s God and you’re not just crazy.”<br />
2294. <br />
2295. “Because it only happens when I am thinking about God, it doesn’t happen listening to Lady Gaga or anything!”<br />
2296. <br />
2297. “Why doesn’t he do things like in the Old Testament anymore, like miracles?”<br />
2298. <br />
2299. “He does all the time, you just don’t realize it.”<br />
2300. <br />
2301. “No like big stuff, burning bush, floods and stuff.”<br />
2302. <br />
2303. “People just try to explain the big things without God. What would you think if someone got on the news and said God talked to them? We would call them crazy and lock them up. Miracles happen every day you just have to look for it.”<br />
2304. <br />
2305. “Then how do you know it’s not just you looking for God; just like the scientists are looking for science to explain things. That stuff never happens to me.”<br />
2306. <br />
2307. “I’m sure I have personal ones, I just can’t think of any. You are so hard to impress, I’m sure God has tried a million times to get to you. But you are just like ‘meh! Not good enough.’”<br />
2308. <br />
2309. “True, If God wants me to believe he will have to like kick me in the ass or something!”<br />
2310. <br />
2311. “Ok sure, I will start praying for God to kick you in the ass!”<br />
2312. <br />
2313. “So why was God such an ass in the Old Testament? With all the wrath and stuff.”<br />
2314. <br />
2315. “The people never got it, they made the same mistakes over and over again.”<br />
2316. <br />
2317. “Oh so like people now.”<br />
2318. <br />
2319. “Exactly.”<br />
2320. <br />
2321. “So what does God look like? If I’m created in his image does that mean he looks like me?”<br />
2322. <br />
2323. “No one knows.”<br />
2324. <br />
2325. “That’s a dumb answer.”<br />
2326. <br />
2327. “Oh oh I have a good one. There are some things we are not meant to know. Like trying to explain the complex nature of God is like trying to explain computers to an ant. The human mind is not advanced enough to understand the complexity of God.”<br />
2328. <br />
2329. “That’s a convenient answer. Ok what about the dinosaurs? How does the bible explain that?”<br />
2330. <br />
2331. “I think that they can fit into the creation story. Animals were created before humans. So his day could have been a point in time not literally 24 hours. He created morning and night so who is to say a day is in his time.”<br />
2332. <br />
2333. “Yea I think so too. What about the myths that are so similar to the bible stories?”<br />
2334. <br />
2335. “What about them?”<br />
2336. <br />
2337. “Like the creation story is just like the creation myth of Mesopotamia. And the flood story is retold in so many cultures. They can’t all be true.”<br />
2338. <br />
2339. “I think Moses had heard these stories growing up before he wrote the bible story. So when the story where explained to him by God he probably drew on them to understand. Like if you know someone’s history you wouldn’t just tell them is all wrong and start tell them a completely new version. You would say what you think is kind-of true but this part was really this and it was that instead of that.”<br />
2340. <br />
2341. “That’s a convenient answer too, I don’t know.”<br />
2342. <br />
2343. I then apologized for preaching to him the whole hour metro ride as we approached the party. To which he just laughed and changed the topic. I don’t know why I felt the need to apologize. He had brought it up, he continued asking questions. If he was uncomfortable he could have changed the topic at anytime, but instead it was me that was uncomfortable. <br />
2344. <br />
2345. Isn’t that just like us to stifle God’s miracles? I never would have thought that my friend would be so interested to hear what I believe about God. Or that he would bring up the topic and have so many questions. It was no coincidence this conversation took place on a crowded bus where others may have over heard, or that it was at the beginning of a long commute so we had a lot of free time, without distractions. It was no coincidence that I was with Roz who shares my faith and backed me up with her own examples. He was my miracle, and I apologized for it! <br />
2346. <br />
2347. Of course looking back now there are things that I wish I had said or hadn’t said but I am proud of my answers. I was honest, even surprising myself. I was funny and light hearted and I think he will ask me again if he has more questions. And maybe I will be more comfortable talking longer next time. I guess my lesson learned is you never know what God has in store for you and I have to be ready. It’s not enough for me to believe myself; I have to be able to explain my faith and own it proudly. His disbelieve didn’t shake my belief, but it made me want to find more answers. I was witnessing to him but I am the one that was being tested and my weaknesses exposed. <br />

2349. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">I went to see the countryside outside of <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Guilin</place></city> city to spend Chinese New Years with my friend’s parents. My friend, Daniel, kept telling me - just so you know there are is not heat in my parents’ house. And I told him - no worries I lived in <state w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Ohio</place></state>. He tells me his family is farmers, no problem my Granny lives on a farm. He tells me they are slaughtering a pig for the holiday and I say my dad was a pig farmer growing up. I have been on the farm, seen the animals, played on the dirt road; I was ready for anything.</span></div>
2350. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2351. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was wrong. There is a huge difference between <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> country and the Chinese countryside. Even without snow on the ground the mountains felt like I was constantly standing in a freezer! And the worst part was that there is no escape. In the <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> I would run from my warm house to my warm car and then to a warm store. But in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">China</place></country-region> nowhere is warm. I honestly think it was colder inside the house than outside. The walls were all mud bricks and bare concrete floors. The only source of warmth was a small fire. It sounds like a horrible idea, but they took a metal table with a big blanket on top of it and set it on top of the fire. In my mind that was a fire hazard but this seemed to be standard Chinese winter procedure. We all huddled around on our stools with our legs and hands under the blanket. I was actually quite toasted except that after awhile your feet felt like they were burning and your back and shoulders were still exposed to the cold and shivering. It’s like half of my body was in Africa and the rest in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Russia</place></country-region>! </span></div>
2352. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2353. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another first for me was the outhouse. I often wake up in the middle of the night and don’t want to get out of my warm bed to pee. This is taken to a completely different level when you have to walk outside to the end of the driveway to use the outhouse. <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">China</place></country-region> bathrooms are always a bit of a pain for me in general because the squatters require a lot of balance and concentration and you aren’t supposed to put the used toilet paper in the bowl; you are supposed to throw it away in the trash can. I often break this rule because the American in my just can’t stand the thought of my dirty toilet paper in an open trash can. The outhouse was another surprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It was built on a little hill so you have to climb up 2 muddy steps and then straddle an opening between the bamboo sticks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This half asleep, in the dark, balancing a flashlight is quite a task. I will admit to breaking the toilet paper rule until I found out his parents empty out the bucket under the outhouse every so often and use it for fertilizer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Just Yuck.</span></div>
2354. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2355. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Meal time we would remove the table-blanket and place the pot to boil our food on top of the fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I have never been a big fan of hot pot, but it is apparently the best thing to eat in the winter to keep your body warm. So it turns out we had hot pot everyday, for every meal the rest of my trip there. If you have never done hot pot (which I hadn’t before living in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">China</place></country-region>) it’s basically a soup that they bring to boil on the table and then you add raw meats and veggies as you are eating. Everyone picks out whatever they want into their own bowls. The trick in the countryside is there wasn’t really any light so you couldn’t see what you were grabbing out of the pot until it was almost to your mouth. And by that time it is pretty difficult to politely put it back in the pot. This is how I came to try all kinds of new animal parts, intestines, liver, lungs and other unrecognizable parts of the pig, chicken or duck. They could never understand why I became full so much faster than the rest of the family and would continually fill my bowl every time I took a bite. </span></div>
2356. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2357. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">One example of the extreme hospitality was when I was sitting around the table with Daniel and his mom. They had just slaughtered a whole pig (which would last them 6 months) and a duck 2 days before. There was a rooster and a hen that would often wonder into the house before we could shoo them away. I asked Daniel why the hen was so much fatter than the rooster it was about 3 times the size of the rooster! His mom saw my gestures and asked Daniel to translate, “She likes the chicken?” I smiled and the next thing I knew the mom grabbed the rooster by the neck and carried him outside. I asked Daniel what happened and he said, “you like the chicken, so she will kill him for you.” It was too late to take it back by the time I stood up to see him struggling on the ground outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I was shocked at the misunderstanding but I had to be in awe of the fact that I could just look at the chicken and his family would cook it for me. With no hesitation, they literally would have done anything to make me happy. </span></div>
2358. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
2359. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;I had to admire their life style. The most shocking thing to me is that I know they have money. In Chinese culture it is normal for the sons to financially support their parents. I know for a fact that Daniel and his brother both send enough money home for his parents to live very comfortably, but they choose to live modestly. They are simple people and don’t need or want a lot. Daniel told me he yells at his parents sometimes as says, “Why don’t you use the money I sent you!” They reply, “We are saving it for you or our grandchildren someday.” So I asked him, “Why do you still send them money if they don’t want it.” And he replied, “I am a good son, it’s my duty.” &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Even if you don’t understand or agree with it; the sacrifices that both Daniel and his parents make are admirable. I understand now why people talk about family values as a major part of Chinese culture. Before, I thought that was silly because every culture respects their family members, but the focus in &lt;country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;China&lt;/place&gt;&lt;/country-region&gt; is unshakable. It was very encouraging to see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/feeds/1827466807991190741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2012/02/there-is-country-and-then-there-is.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/1827466807991190741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1814455066681764975/posts/default/1827466807991190741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://godizzle85.blogspot.com/2012/02/there-is-country-and-then-there-is.html' title='There is Country and then there is Countryside'/><author><name>Christy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02315749540454719749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//4.bp.blogspot.com/_zleHPqdx1N4/TC0iBRcnt4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/4WQcqxf-huE/S220-s113/CHINA!+086.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814455066681764975.post-4140480226297556229</id><published>2012-01-07T19:46:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2017-06-30T02:15:49.147-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="China life"/><title type='text'>China has everything I could ever want... except you.</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;
2360. This Christmas season I did a lot more to force the Christmas spirit. During Halloween some friends and I stumbled upon our greatest discovery in China! Sunggong warehouse! All the factory leftovers from the products sent to the US. I felt like I am in Wal-Mart’s holiday section, just dirtier, cheaper and a lot more crap to sift through. We came back to this gold mine around thanksgiving and it was a CHRISTMAS EXPLOSION! I am talking a full street with trees and garland covering each store front. And 2 of the buildings had 4 floors of Christmas goodness inside, mixed, of course, with the usual baby clothes, purses, plastic ware and other randomness. I couldn’t keep my legs still. They had a 10 foot plastic tree that I could comfortably live inside! Life-size Santa figures made out of glitter and gold paint (China version). As I spent every penny in my purse on lights and a wreath, I realized my apartment was too small for a tree.<br />
2361. <br />
2362. Since my classes are much smaller this year I can do a lot more activities with them. So I asked my school if I could buy a tree for my classroom and they loved the idea! A friend suggested I take my class on a field trip to the warehouse and let them pick out the decorations. But I decided if they were devil children in the classroom, I can’t imagine what they would do turned loose in society! But for a total of 300 kaui ($50 US) I bought 2 trees 40 ornaments, 2 strands of lights, and 2 star toppers! I had taught my students last year about Christmas in one 45 min class since I only saw them 2 or 4 times in a month. I see my students now 5 times a week. The tree purchase inspired my 20 lesson Christmas series, which was only met with minor opposition from my devil boys. We talked about the legend of Santa clause and the first Christmas tree. We made a Christmas chain with our Christmas wishes. We wrote Family newsletters, listened to Christmas music and even watched “How the Grinch stole Christmas.”<br />
2363. <br />
2364. The best part of the lesson series was the Christmas play. My church had just done the children’s play the Sunday before, and I was talking to my friends about how cute they were. My friend who is also a teacher said he has his middle school students act out the Christmas story every year and they love it! In the US that would be a major lawsuit to teach a bible story in a public school. But the way he explained it was that he was teaching a piece of American culture. Non-Christians know the story, you see nativity scene everywhere and it is alluded to in movies and TV shows. The students need to know the story to understand the references. There are many rules against missionaries in China so I wanted to be careful not to get myself in trouble, but I thought it was a great idea I couldn’t pass up.<br />
2365. <br />
2366. My first class was 10 boys, not knowing the story I assigned a role for each boy with the instruction to act out the story as it was read aloud. This was extra fun for me as I ignored the statements of, “What’s an Angel?” And “Is Mary a girl name?” So after every few lines I would stop and have the characters mentioned stand in the front of the class. I made “Mary and Joseph” hold hands when it says they were engaged to be married and then Joseph pulled his hand away when he found out she was pregnant. I had the boys playing the Angels flap their arms like wings, the Star do jazz hands as he lead the Wiseman around the room. The whole class was laughing and participating, definitely my best teaching moment thus far. Their understanding surprised me too. Both classes when I read that Mary and Joseph were told to hide in Egypt until Herod was dead, the students scurried around the room and finally pulled the window curtains around to cover them! The shy boys that don’t have the vocab to speak out in class were actually getting it! The teacher in more couldn’t help spoiling the fun with the, “See! Class can be fun if you just pay attention!”<br />

2368. People ask me all the time why I love China. My answers never seems to be what is expected. It’s the little things that make me smile no matter how awful my day has been or the bad mood I am in. (and believe me there have been plenty of those days) My honest to God favorite part of my new town of lain tang is the crosswalk man. In China people are too detail oriented to be satisfied with the standard walk/ don’t walk flashing light. In lian tang the little man is animated and he tells you how fast you need to walk. The best is the strut setting. The little crosswalk light has the proud strut that I can’t see without standing a little taller. Everytime me and my friend see it we try to walk at the same pace as the light and say, “strut carefully!” Then when the traffic light is about to change the little man gets faster and faster and end in a panic furry to get across. The panic is justified! I literally almost got hit by a bus the other day. I was with my Italian friend and the little man started to run so I started to hurry across the road as well. She stopped me and said, “:in my country they have to stop for us in the crosswalk, is it the same in America?” right then we turned to see a bus coming at us at full speed and we jumped back into the place a median should be! It is<br />
2369. <br />
2370. literally a game of frogger every time we cross the road. I often feel that if I have 2 or more Chinese people crossing in front of me, I can be safe using them as a human shield. I should be able to run out of the way by the time the cars run over 2 other people. Roz is convinced Chinese people have magical road crossing powers. They just walk calmly and stand on the white line in between lanes or do the China scurry. It’s not really a full run, but it’s a lot of movement without your feet ever leaving the ground. It almost gives the appearance of running but without any of the energy. It is sometimes enough to make the bus drivers wait for you to get on, but mostly just gives the foreigners something to laugh at. I do not have the power – I see my life flash before my eyes jump out of the way of on-coming traffic at least weekly. Maybe it is because the Chinese people are so skinny they are literally as wide as the white lines on the road so the cars can pass freely around them. When I stand on the white line I have to step backwards or forwards in order for the cars to pass. The buses see me and lay on the horn as if I am taking up their whole lane. The math stereotype is taken to new measure on the traffic lights for big intersections. Instead of the rudimentary red green yellow lights they have all digital count downs. The stoplight is literally red flashing numbers counting how long until you can go. 130 second red count down then 60 seconds of green and 10 of yellow. I don’t know which would be worse for sitting at a light the that seems to take all day or staring angrily and the 120seconds that seems to never move. Honestly if they had that in DC it would help me time my commute in which I proudly completed my morning tasks of eating breakfast, drying my hair and doing my makeup. If I knew I had 2 minutes at a stop light, I could have a whole eye done instead of relying on the honking cars around me to know when the light changed. Humm maybe DC isn’t ready for that kind of detail! I have seen way too many people shaving and reading books on my DC commute.<br />
