DRIVING:
First off, if you think driving in rush hour is bad, never come to Beijing. The drivers are absolutely insane! It's constantly like you're driving at 5pm on the way home from work, plus 10x the amount of cars. And those white lines that separate the lanes? Those don't exist here. People will make as many lanes as they want as long as they can get where they are going. There is no speed limit, no cops and I guess the best way to put it is no rules. Boys back home always say that girls are bad drivers. Ha. Come to Beijing.
ALL EYES ON ME:
I'm pretty much a super star. Everywhere I go people look at me like I'm Beyonce. It's weird having this much attention and I don't think I like it. Today we went to a HUGE park where you can ride boats, bikes, roller blades, electric cars, etc. and it was like the people had never seen a white person before. Everyone just stares at me. Haven't they ever learned that staring is rude?
Asian's are weird, man. They wear the most bazaar clothes and the highest platform shoes. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I'm serious! People will just walk right into the street without looking or stopping, get hit by a car and just keep walking! It doesn't even phase them! I think Asians are made out of steal because they are prone to getting injured.
SCHOOL SYSTEM:
Now I know that I should never have complained about school. Jerry, my four year old, goes to school from 8am - 6pm! And then has English class Friday after school and Sunday. Thennnn gets to come home to my lessons. Now I know why Asians are geniuses!
Oh, and ankle socks don't exist here. My family always makes fun of me because my socks aren't long. Just thought I'd throw that in there...

FUN FACTS:
The sky isn't blue. There seems to be too much pollution so it's always kind of a grayish color.
I haven't seen one bird.
The food is weird. Their hamburgers are gross. (very sad moment of my life)
You have to wear flip flops and socks inside or you get yelled at.
I get made fun of a lot.
My two kids love to pick their noses.
I'm afraid for my life when I walk in the street.
My China dad, Peter, is a heavy smoker.
The shower only stays hot for 5 minutes and I'm not even sure what I'm washing my hair with.
I can't do my hair because the plugs back home are different from the plugs here.
I'm ten hours ahead of you guys so I'm living in your future and you're all in my past.
Annnnddd my bedspread is pink. I hate pink.
