The Latest Fashion News

Here are the latest in fashion trends from China.

I always get a kick out of great combinations such as these.  I call them "real matchers'.  

And then there are the ever present t-shirt fashions:
"Cabbage  Morb delicious "
"Native American, Indiana, Tribes years ago"  
Popeye, Unfluid Studios 
"What's--Holiday Village, Missoula MT "   I asked this girl if I could take a picture of her shirt.  It caught my attention because Tom was born in Missoula.  She, of course, had no clue what her shirt was even about.
"My energy comes from freedom"  
"Lovely Pig--wash your fragrant"
I seriously wanted to buy this shirt because I think it is so funny.  It says "Perfect Saint".  I don't believe that anyone who understands its meaning would wear it.  I wanted it as a souvenir, but it was $80.  So, sadly I'll just keep the picture as my souvenir.  Interestingly, I did see someone wearing this shirt.  I wished I could have told her how to become a progressing saint! 
And then there is this kind of fashion.  You'll have to zoom in and look at the bottom of that skirt. Very interesting.  I'm not sure how many of those they can sell here in China, but maybe I'm just not hanging out in the right places to know it is a hot item.

Bamboo Forest

There is a bamboo forest nearby.  A few weeks ago we paid it a visit. It was about an hour drive and after we got off the freeway it was a meandering road through some cute villages.  I started getting excited for some hiking and a lovely nature experience. I should have known better.  This is China.  If people will come, they will find a way to make some money.  The bamboo forest was no different---it was a tourist trap. That didn't mean we didn't enjoy it.  We did. It was a lot of fun.  But our expectations were shot down yet again.  (Pro tip, Darcee, drop all expectations, you're in China!) At the bamboo forest, you can see shops,  get a hot dog at "Fatty Dogg WestCoast Hot Dog",  (perhaps I should try it, my expectations may be happily surprised; but I highly doubt it) get measured 3 times,   (in China, children's prices are determined by your height, not your age.  When we came to China, both girls were under 150cm so they...

Underarm Odor Census Notice

I just got this text message from Changzhou City. I can't quite imagine what an inspection would entail. (And to "enjoy" an inspection!) In a country where you can't buy deodorant, what would the treatment be?  I wish them well on their census efforts!

Dinner Guests

Before we moved to China, my dream life was to stay home and make dinner for my neighbors.  If asked of a place I'd like to travel, I would usually comment that I would rather have a kitchen remodel than seeing far away places.  That is because I have come to really enjoy having people over for dinner and a kitchen remodel would make that much easier on me--which I cared more about than seeing the world. (It also illustrates my extremely low need for adventure to be happy.) Thankfully I have been able to continue that hobby in China. It is a bit more of a challenge here because of an even smaller kitchen capacity, lack of ingredients and my concern about feeding Chinese people food they might actually like.  For my personal records here are dinners I have photos of. Tina and James (our liaison for our landlady) Sherry, Talia & Stella (Tom's co workers; and Stella tutors me in Chinese) Penny (one of my Chinese teachers) Melissa's cousin (someone from CCID branch asked ...
