BASTARD!!!
Funny one for me, I was at Dongjiang lake in Hunan Province, when a group of three school girls came running up to me with big smiles. One of them waved, and said, "Hi, how are you?" I said good, and asked how they were. They laughed, and as quickly as they arrived, said Bye, and ran off giggling.
I agree Maxx...being stared at is funny at first, but does tend to wear on my nerves. Was stared at quite openly, all the time, while in Zhifang's hometown...Zixing, Hunan. When we got married, there were 170 invited guests. 240 showed up, because I was the first lao wai to ever get married in Zixing, and people we showing up to see the spectacle.

Martin I beleave that. after a couple of days it really starts to get to me.And you know how I am I can't just let it go.I start making faces at them.Or I will start starring at them.Or Ill start talking to them in English just to mess with ther minds.
A real funny one.Me and the wife and son were out walking on this island in Zhuhai.Theese 3 teenage Girls came up and wanted to play with my son.So they are walking behind us carring my son.Just laughing and giggeling.I hear one of the girls start to scream.I look back.And my son has pulled the girls top up.And is Pulling at her bra.Trying to get something to eat.The girl is dancing around trying to hold my son off and trying to fix her clothes at the same time.My wife and I can't help the girl because we are laughing to hard.SHe finnaly passes my son to my wife.And gets her clothes straightend out.The girl face would turn red everytime she looked at me.I told my wife that are son was just looking for lunch.
Me and my son are standing out side of a store in JiuJiang.My Wife and motherinlaw are in the store shopping for clothes for our son.Guys American Chinese baby boys are huge girl magnets.We had ben standing there for about 5 minuts,My son is setting in his stroller I'm just watching people walk by.This girl walks up and starts playing with my son.Then here comes her 2 friends and there playing with the boy.He is just setting there grinning and giggling trying to reach the girls.Well this draws more of a crowed more girls come up and want to play with him.
There is 4 or 5 standing off to the side just looking and smiling at me and my son.I start talking to the girls in English.I ask them if they want a American chinese baby.I tell them that I'm holding interviews latter.I tell them that they are going to have to take there clothes off.Theese girls smiles are getting bigger and bigger.So I'm thinking this is getting funnier and funnier.About that time my wife comes out of the store.And all these girls take off like they ben shot out of a cannon.My wife looks at me and says what are you doing. I say nothin honey just standing here waiting for you.And we walk off down the street with all theese people staring at us.
We are ridding the over night train from Jiujang to Guanzghou.My wife goes to the bathroom.So I'm just setting there playing with our son.This women walks up and starts playing with him.She is speaking Chinese to him.I think to myself this could be fun.So I start with the questions.Do you want to have a American Chinese baby.The women looks me right straight in the eye.And says in perfect English.Excuse me I didn't understand what you said.I'm trying to think my way out of this.And my wife shows up and starts talking to the women in Chinese.After the women goes back to her own bed my wife says.What did you say to her.I ask my wife what did the women say I said.My wife tells me Oh the women said that you talk to fast she didn't understand.
Guys take note if you are going to start messing with Chinese people make sure first they don't speak English.

The only thing I can think of at the moment. I tip. I know in China you are not supposed to but i can not help it. at one restaurant. i leave maybe 5 or 6 yuan. no big deal. we are halfway down the block when this waiter comes running up to us. he is nearly out of breath and tries to hand me the money back. Saying i left it at the table. I have Benny tell him no i left it on purpose and it is a tip. He just looks at it and then at me and still tries to hand it back. This kid has never been tipped in his life. He still tries to give it back. I tell him no, it is his money. Finally he hands it to Benny. I tell Benny to give it back to him. he finally gets angry and stomps away. Not be be outdone. I walk back to the place. Put the money back on the table and walk out. Here he comes again. So this time I take it back. Then i pull out a 10 yuan note and give it to him. I have benny tell him it is for all of his running. I enjoyed watching him. The rest start laughing, so he takes the money and puts it in his pocket but would still not take the original money.
The other thing i wrote on our facebook site. we went into the Muslim area to buy some tea in Xi'an. While there we see this woman screaming at this man and she is picking things up and throwing them at him. Paper rocks, whatever. i know this is not the place for us. AS a big crowd in gathereing around. so I start to walk away when this turbaned gentleman walks up to me and asks me who I am and where i was from. Knowing this was not the place to be an American. I tell him the first thing i can think of. My name is Ronan and I am from Ireland. Now i can put a bit of a lilt in my voice as I am irish anyway. he looks at me for a minute, I am looking for a place to go if he does not buy this. Finally he smiles and says welcome. The girls look at me like a king and off we go to find my tea. Later I find out Angel had no idea what was going on. Candy tried to tell her but without success. As far as I know she still does not know how close we were to a problem. Guys stay away from the Muslim section of Xi'an and do not tell them your name is Ronan, they have heard that one already.
