tipping is rude in china

no music: in china

faithful blogateers,
china is muey excellent. or as they say, gua. i'm learning lots of new words like shui, xie xie, yu bay, ka sher, and many more. china is an amazing country. i actually went to the place pictured below, the forbidden city. de bebe danced and i filmed it. a documentary is in process and will be ready for my trip to austin.
i play basketball with chinese high school kids almost every day. it's funny that they have no idea how to communicate with me, yet we can play a team sport and run plays and crush our opponent just as if we were all americans. i can also curse loudly without any reaction. they're also roughly my height or shorter, so i have a natural western advantage there.
there's so much to write about. the lambs, the dirt, the food, the poverty, the chesy ilming i'm doing. the english videos i'm doing are supposed to be part of an online course for chinese middle and high school kids to learn english. i'm hoping people in the states will be able to access it. i'm actually doing some really funny stuff. i'm having a great time and i wish i could spend a month out of every year in a foreign country. pictures are on the way as well as more stories about said shenanigans.
sorry i haven't been around blog land too much lately. my schedule is mad crazy fat super fresh busy.
until then,
b
