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.
