10) People asking to have their pictures with you, just because your a foreigner!! I can imagine that they have my picture all round their houses, weird!!
9) 24hour Chinese food made in the best Chinese restaurant I´ve ever been too!!! If you go late at night you wine and dine with all the 'KTV' girls, which is interesting...
8) Being offered the delicacy of the day and realising it´s dog meat, no thank you!!
7) Having security guards on every corner despite being a country with next to zero crime!!!
6) People talking to me while I am in the shower, both of us completely naked for like 10 minutes because he has this really important story to tell me about chinese customs...he actually whipped back the curtain and demanded to tell me the story...
5) Going to the supermarket and seeing all the crazy fish, crabs, snakes, frogs, toads, jellyfish that you can by...and they also were packed in like a chinese bus (refer to number 4, and also they were in tanks which were right next to each other and one guys job was just to make sure the toads and frogs stayed in the right place, cheeky monkeys!! That was literally his only function!!!
4) People literally stopping in the streets to say 'laowei, laowai' (foreigner, foeriegner') and me stopping alos and shouting 'jong-wa-ren, jong-wa-ren' (chinese person, chinese person')!!!
3) Getting onto a bus for about 17 people(normally) and then the bus filling up with over 100 people(no exaggeration)!!!! And then not being able to get off the bus at my stop...!
2) Getting Drunk during my lunch break at the schools I worked at, sounds bad doesn´t it!!! Not when it's the headmaster getting you drunk and he's paying for everything!!! In China it's a custom to get your guest drunk during a meal, otherwise you've failed as a host!!!! Teaching class drunk was interesting shall we say, and I was very 'bubbly'!!! Shall we say...
And finally...
1) The time I was getting changed at the gym and I realised i had only brought one fresh Sock, so that meant I had to wear one of my dirty socks...er....so I smelt them both to find out which one was 'best' and everyone watched me to my embarrassement, including this massive kickboxer dude, who I was definately scared of!!! Just then another man lost his socks and it turned out I had identical socks to him and my socks were still in my trainers....o.....o shit....so I´d been smelling someone else's socks.......noooooooooooooooooo.....and this person was the big, kickboxer dude, who was definately scarier now, I didn´t have the heart to tell him, so I grabbed one of my socks and left immediately, leaving his socks behind, and for the situation to slowly sink into China's scariest man and the rest of the men in there!!!! I didn't go back for several weeks....
