'IGNORAMI' of the world...

[Pakey]

Did you happen to bring the doggies back to visit their homeland?

I wish. I miss those dogs more than my husband and kids. Dog is on the menu on some places of China. That is the one thing I refuse to try here as it could be a relative of one of mine.

....And corn soda -- isn't that right next to Beverly in Epcot? ....

....uhhhh, did I just read 'corn soda'???

....uhhhh, did I just read 'corn soda'???

Yep, that's what the Pakester said. Maybe it's the Chinese version of moonshine.

A war with Canada and corn soda, lots to ignore today.

Pakey, how'd the packing with only a carry on go?

 

[Pakey]

Things Pakey learned today:

I can go 12 hours without a bathroom break if the only other choice is using a public bathroom here.

Chinese napkins are the size and thickness of one piece of 1 ply toilet paper.

Forbidden City is 600 years old, same age as Kimmar.

Braised cow hoof tastes better than it sounds.

Pakey, how'd the packing with only a carry on go?

I had no problem getting 6 pairs of slacks, 12 tops, 1 sweater, a pair of shoes and all necessaries in that new carry on. I will never check luggage again.

Oh and I learned China banned access to facebook and YouTube 6 months ago. Would have been nice knowing this before I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my facebook app was not working on the iPhone.

It was a very educational day.

Hello from Beijing! It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. It could be jet lag or it could be my dinner of tofu and crab stew with a corn soda.

It's definitely not jet lag!

Did you use your chopsticks?? have a wonderful time

 

[snapppyd]

You went to China alone?


Are you sleeping in a drawer?
(Remember the Seinfeld episode when Kramer had the tourists sleeping in his dresser drawers?)

Glad to "see" you!!!

Oh man.

Ewwwwwww!!!!!! (I mean the braised cow hoof -- not old kimmar.)

I remember that episode!!! We may have to get an axe to get Pakey out of the drawers.

Do we really want to see pakey without her drawers?

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Do we really want to see pakey without her drawers?

Well she did mention packing pants, shirts and sweaters. No undergarments. Maybe she will need to have them axed off of her body upon her return.

maybe she went "commando" to lighten the carry on?

Things Pakey learned today:

I can go 12 hours without a bathroom break if the only other choice is using a public bathroom here. I swear you and little B are related. She went 14 1/2 hours on Sunday. I have no idea why unless it was simply to show her bladder who's boss.

Chinese napkins are the size and thickness of one piece of 1 ply toilet paper. So, what's the toilet paper like?

Forbidden City is 600 years old, same age as Kimmar. Hmm, I would have guessed older for both.

Braised cow hoof tastes better than it sounds. I should hope so.

That is all.

I am not in a drawer. I'm staying in 5 star hotel. Kramer is not here, there are very few westerners here. Hotel bathroom has regular toilet paper.

I am here with my boss but we are each doing our own thing for most of the trip. He golfed yesterday while I toured ancient China alone. Nobody speaks English but they touch you and try to sell you stuff.

Last nights dinner included crispy duck webs that you dip on sugar. One of best things I've ever tasted. Also had bamboo shoots.

Today I have driver taking me to Great Wall.

 

[Pakey]

I am using chopsticks but I really suck at it. They don't give you silverware and they don't use their fingers (can't cuz napkins are not big enough to clean your hands). So I eat slow.

Try not to get the Dis banned.

Are you going to be able to see the Terra Cotta soldiers while you're in China?

 

[kimmar067]

...ignoring y'all....

 

[Pakey]

Pakey's new lesson for today. I actually learned a lot but this one is so BIG that it's all I'm sharing. Chinese toddlers do not wear diapers. Once they can walk they are put into pants that have split crotch and are taught to squat when they need to. This is no joke. Saw 4 at Great Wall. This will be ultimate bahookie shot and it's my mission to score one.

This is my last nite of free wifi so I may not post till I'm home.
