Funny but unique China

Martin:
Hi all.  I was wanting to post this thread for everyone who has been to China, to be able to post some of their more memorable moments of the country. I am looking for people to post things that are fun, and yet unique to China.  It will make those of us that have been to China laugh, but also serve as an education of what to look for, for those that have yet to make the trip.  Have fun with it.  What are some of your funniest memories of China?

One of the craziest things I've encountered was the babies wearing open front door and open back door for easy access of pinching a loaf or wizzing at any given moment. It is kind of odd the indifference the Chinese appear about bodily functions, I guess they figure everyone does it so what is the big deal. First few times you encounter a parent holding the child releaving him or herself it kind of freaks you out. Initially it repulsed me yet now it doesn't faze me anywhere, when in Rome, lol. It seems to mainly be country folk using these unusual pants, another reason is because it is much cheaper to just not use diapers at all. If it saves money they are all over it here. Actually encountered bamboo scaffolding ten stories high in Yongzhou, tell me that wouldn't be scary working on. People in China for free advertising spray paint their business phone numbers all over random walls. It looks like hell yet no one seems to a friend of mine just commented but it is free. Chinese logic is so alien at first glance yet after living here awhile you start to accept it as just the way it is regardless or roundabout it may seem. As a whole the Chinese always seem to like doing things the hard way or are just too stubborn to do it differently. There were a few times Mei insisted that we attempt something that I knew for a fact was a waste of time, so we ran around for a half of day trying to retrieve outdated technology from a 3.5 disc from my old computer which contained my last resume. Seems once technology is not readily used it is thrown away instead of kept around for old school computer illiterates like myself. Long story short I've been in different situations with different Chinese people and they seem to prefer trying all the wrong solutions prior to ever attempting the most plausible one. Maybe it is the company I keep, I don't know. Well, that is my rant for now. Thanks Martin very good topic, I was going to post a similiar thread yet don't want post too many for fear more important ones could be getting overlooked in the overabundance of posts. Sure this post should be pretty funny. Sorry my had to be about defacation and peeing but what can you do. Still kind of does freaks me out seeing genitals and butts hanging in the breeze though.

I did not notice this so much in Guangzhou...but certainly in the more rural areas.  It took me by surprise as well.

MLM:
The first time I seen this I was in Fojian, I was walking down the street, lane,road, whatever, and this little guy came around the corner peeing as he walked, it cought me by surprise and while looking to see I was seeing what I thought I saw I walked into the side of a cart, everyone started laughing :blush: so I laughed too, come to think about it, it was funny.

The Chinese stare.No matter where you go in China People are always stareing  At you.(Except in Beijing) I can ussually take it for a couple of days.But after that it starts to bother me.I once seen a Chinese women beat a Chinese man for spitting on her.She was holding one of his hands and hitting him with the other hand.Everytime he would try to get away she would just pull him back.And start hitting him again.

My wife and I was walking  in the mountains of Lou Shan.I turned the corner in the trail.And ran into a bunch of School Children.As soon as they seen me all the girls in the class had to get there picture taken with me.

You have probably seen thoose tour groups.The people all wander around following the person with the flag and wearing the same colored hat. There was a bunch of them in Lou Shan one day.I snuck  up behind them when they were doing there group picture.The girl tacking the photo just took the photo and didn't see me in the back row.I started to walk away and one of the guys seen me.Grabs me and puts me in the front row so we have to take the picture again.
