Arnold,

your right they are not mad just talking  lol!!!!! if and when you see them mad its more like
cornered badgers having it out with each other.

im used to it now and can sleep thru it when im out in public on a bus or subway. oh did i say
sleep?? yes i can take those short naps like the chinese do everywere when im out and about
a 10 minute refreshing nap.

im fortunate though my wife speaks in a low even tone when she talks on the phone or out in public
as does her family. even when she bitches at me it is in a low tone that i have to ask her, what did you say??
so i get bitched at twice  hahahahahaha

My wife talks very softly to me all the time haha haha, well alright maybe not all the time but that makes it even more scary when she does gets angry with people. I see her change from this quite Chinese lady into this whirlwind of noise and she gets right into peoples faces too. Demure Chinese ladies,think again!

Ted,

The 10 minute naps are called "power naps". As long as you don't miss your stop you will be good to go after one of those.

Loud?  What are you talking about.  I road a bus from Guangzhou to Yingdu.  It was almost 2 hours long.  The bus was full and the man sitting across the isle and one row behind me yelled on his cell phone to different people for two whole hours.  Once I turned around to see why he was yelling he was facing me and looking right at me.  I gave him a dirty look and put one of my fingers in my ear. He turned and faced the other direction.  Once he turned I think he began to talk louder.

The real kicker for me was that Peggy slept right through it.  When I said something to her about it later she said she never heard it.  You just have to put up with the noise.  It is a reality.

Ah, the memories. 

Shaun,

Let me know the next time you go to china. I already have about 20 pair of ear plugs in my carry on luggage. I have lots of extra. I can send you several pairs if you want for your next trip. They will help cut down on the noise from all the yelling. Then you can get some sleep with Peggy.

David C,

I had them in my suitcase back in Guangzhou.  It never even crossed my mind that morning to take them until we were into the trip about 30 minutes.   

I don't know if I would have made it out the door with them anyway. Peggy would make a good drill Sargent.  She likes to pull and inspection before we exit the room.  She tells me I carry too much in my pockets so she will want to see what I have.  It is actually quite fun because I say no... you know the drill.  The fun part of it is when we are out and she needs something and I have it in my pocket.  I say see, see...  it is a good thing I brought it isn't it.

yes Baotou in inner mongolia is what i meant
