Things Learned

I have procrastinated blogging for a while (so…procrastinating procrastination). I'm tempted to go with the obligatory post on reverse culture shock, but it's not that interesting; I'll spare the majority of it and just say that my year in China has cultivated in me 1.) a serious paranoia of the government, and 2.) a profound appreciation for American restrooms.

    That actually doesn't look *too* bad. We visited some at a gas station on our way back from Jinshangling that were pretty rowdy. Gravel floor with single partition between "floor" and "trough" and 2 wooden beams cutting the transverse so that you could sort of line up with other dudes while you took a squat. Not the best view...

    I'm sure that in your time you saw much worse but, wisely, didn't photograph it.

    PS your blog seems to be set to China time still, guessing from the time stamps.
