Sometimes bad things happen. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's funny later. The bus blowing a tire was funny. Waiting forty five minutes by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere was funny later. When things are funny, I take pictures... when bad things happen, I don't. Then I wish I would have because it's funny later.
Allow me to explain.
Ordering food with my students 'helping' us, not funny. Getting a steamed bun with two weirdly breaded, paper thin chicken patties and cucumbers inside, funny LATER. I even had my camera... but no picture. Sorry folks, but I was just too hungry and too disappointed in my students selection of food to take a picture. I shall try harder in the future to laugh sooner... so that you can look at the pictures. (you want to know something sad? They had pictures of BEEF hamburgers with CHEESE on their menu. But do they have hamburgers? Nope. Curses. There seems to be quite a bit of false advertising in our town, as this is the second time we have seen pictures for foods that are not served.
*Side note: I love the food here, now that we have found good places to eat. I also would love to just have something different. I would probably kill a chicken for a lasagna right now. (I don't think they believe in cheese here)

Oh man, so funny! i'm glad you are writing this stuff down, because you forget those little things that happen. I'll never forget hating things at the time and then laughing later!
Matt's face is HILARIOUS! So like Matt... Oh and Phillip wants to know why you guys haven't started dressing up like chinese people yet. What's up with these American clothes? Are they at least made in China??? :-)
