Learnings

Well, we have been here for three weeks now and have some significant learnings about life in China:

  • No matter how hard we try to find a solution, we will wake up with severe back pain after another night on the concrete Serta they call a mattress.
  • It’s better to go online and look up the conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius for cooking the desired meal, rather than guessing – “Would you like some ranch with that chicken jerky?”
  • Welders masks also double as great bug shields if you’re a moped owner.
  • The term “Agent” really means “A middle man who gets a cut off the top.”
  • The phrase “Lefty Loosy, Righty Tighty” means absolutely nothing here. However, the phrase “Trial and Error” is a big player.
  • There is always room for one more on the elevator and “Maximum Occupancy” is merely a suggestion.

About Me

After having lived our entire lives in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas, there's really only one logical place for us to move to next. Yep, that's right ... Shanghai, China. Follow along with us on our journey to the Orient as we learn Mandarin, feast on chicken feet, and experience Asia!
