_ Today was filled with adventure and unexpected novelty. As immigrants in another country I was expected to be treated less then their own, however they seem to LOVE US!!!! They like people of color better than they do others because they barely get to see people of color so when they do it is so fascinating to them. While visiting and touring Tiananmen Square which is about the size of 60 soccer fields we encountered a huge group of Chinese people who rushed us with their language and the little bit of english they knew to take pictures with them. They were excited and the joy in their faces said it all.
_While in the Forbidden City which got its name\back when it was created in 1420; the local people were not allowed to enter because this is where the emperor lived, I was amazed at the many different buildings/ monuments there were. Each building had its significance, and you were able to tell this by the amount of figures/animals there were in the corners the more animals the more important the building was and the less figures it had the less important it was.
_ CHINESE PEOPLE LIKE EVERYTHING EVEN. If one side is red the other side has to be red too. This is my kind of people. I need everything in my life to be even. I was thinking maybe I am suppose to be chinese(lol). I have the eyes for it...(lol).
_ I took lots of pictures. I realized that by the end of the day I was probably a bit of a creeper. I took pictures of people and they didn't even know it. As we were walking we realized that Chinese people enjoy their high boots with tights and shorts. Their coats were really cute and THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE PUTTING UP THE PEACE SIGN. That is pretty cool out here too them. I also realized that they enjo interior designing their cars with different prints which was kind of an entertainment for me while I was on the tour bus.
_ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR I REALIZED
IS THAT THE CHINESE ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM
AMERICAN CHINESE PEOPLE....
THEY ARE FRIENDLIER AND ARE
EXCITED TO SEE YOU AND
WANT TO TAKE PICTURES WITH YOU!!!!!!!!
_While waiting for Tay to come out the bathroom this lady was so shocked to see me to the point where she changed her mind and didn't pee......SHE CAME AND SAT NEXT TO ME!!!!! She began to start talking in her native tongue and I was trying to figure out what she was saying when she realized I wasn't comprehending she started laughing...I turned around then this lad hits me harder then I expected on the arm to get my attention and points to the palm of her hand(lol) now you know I started going cross eyed cause Im thinking she talking about my skin complexion....Come to find out she was asking me where am I from??????(lol).
