The standard amusement amongst the locals is to say to each other "baby pretty, father ugly" (in chinese) whenever they see us, unaware that I know what they're saying. My amusement is to smile at them with my crooked decaying teeth.

mac-don-lo is a popular upmarket and very expensive venue where rich young chinese can purchase the latest in western food. The chinese laugh at westerners for being fat, but lately they have had to stop looking at themselves in the mirror...

Consumers waiting for america to arrive

There are 1.4 billion of them and one of you. And they will all say "hello" behind your back. If you turn around no one will admit they were the one who said "hello", and you will just end up with a twisted neck.
Simply smile and move on. They're just being smartarses.

Hey Lionel, nice to find you here. I've seen your pictures and I really like them. I'm a Fushun girl but now I'm living in Manchester. I really miss home and it's so nice to see someone like you who has such special points of view for my lovely home town.
