beijing, day 5: more discoveries (lomosite, 16 sept '04)

1. kids' pants are not sewn at the crotch; they part easily. i'm imagining that this allows for easy access to vital parts when kids need to pee or poo on the roadside.

2. i CANNOT eat local food from a stall. everything is too salty!

3. never buy souvenirs and gifts from friendship stores or factories or stores. buy them from the sidewalk vendors or markets. (like i didn't know already!!). being too lazy will make you pay, literally!

4. be nice and try a little charm when bargaining, especially when the proprietor is a young male.

5. beijingers/chinese love their tiananmen square, anytime of the day. they crowd the place day and night!

6. traffic is never ending in beijing, even as late as 10pm.
