Oh, Look Who's Cool Now...

'cuz I am writing this blog from China.

Allow that to sink in for a moment. Bask in the miracle of the Internet. Hooray for the most oppressive goernment on Earth (not).

(Your job, is to figure out which thing I just said "not" to)

This place is freaking amazing. Every city block is simultaneously being torn down and built up. You can't look around without seeing either rubble, construction cranes, or donkeys. Oh, and there's bicycles... lots of bicycles.

Pedestrians here have no sense for self-preservation. They cross the streets like they own it. Bicycles and cars, everywhere. Everytime we drive around, I fear for other people's lives. No one ever stops honking. It serves more as a way to let people know you're there than for anything else. It's like New York traffic, only not as romantic.

Everything smells. Bad.

I love this place.

I love you too.
