Weird, gross, and crazy Chinese things

Now that were home, here are some of the crazy, gross, and common things you find in China, AKA, things I am happy we don't have in the United States. China is a very different culture and place than the U.S. and I liked a lot of things about it. But, as with everywhere, there were things I didn't like...

• The Food
• Snake head
• Duck blood on meals
• Chicken feet and head still attached to the body in a meal
• Scorpions
• Lemonade, this is hot water with think, concentrated lemon syrup
• Hot Chocolate (in places other than Starbucks) It is like the lemonade, but with chocolate syrup
• Toilets
• This is the same in England, no one has any idea of what a bathroom, restroom or men/lady room is. You call it a toilet, which for Americans is pretty inappropriate.
• They are holes in the floor
• "Squat Toilets"
• Beds
• The beds are hard as a rock (really)
• They are pieces of ply wood with a sheet
• Staring/pointing/pushing
• These are not rude or impolite
• Everyone does it
• Shouting
• No one talks, they shout
• Especially on the phone
• When we were in a hotel, a house keeper nodded politley to us, "good morning" then turned and screamed to someone 10 feet away from her.
• Barack Obama (this is good)!
• Good!
• Everyone, who spoke English or not, asked "Obama?" We nodded a lot and they were very happy.
