I know. All English teachers in China with blond hair automatically get major guanxi just for getting off the plane. They give people like you the extra guanxi they take away from people with a five o’clock shadow.

ooh, maybe that was a little uncalled for. ;)

but you still haven’t told us about the fake church building!

You didn’t take a photo? Too bad. I wonder what the Chinese on those signs said.

Hey, when will nihaoareyou be back up and running?

The be more civilized thing made me remember one time back in 2001 or 2002 when I was in Zhengzhou. There was a park there that had signs that said “Do Christian Be Civism” of course I was very puzzled. When I asked my friends they informed me that this sign of course meant that I should not walk on the grass. Perfectly clear!

That’s what our neighbours told us, that it will help the top floor apartments be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Sounds good to us!

In North America we were both 老百姓，but I don’t know that we count as 老百姓 in China!

That is really a little crazy.
Lots of people like to say”The Olympic Games is coming” as a begining on the Tv or Radio.

There is one name for the flat roofs to pointy. That is “平改坡” . I don’t think it is beautiful. But that will make the top foloor’s 老百姓 feel cooler in the summer maybe.
