take a picture, it'll last longer

Nine days into China and I have yet to grow accustomed to the filth, crazy driving methods and staring. Our family may be the tallest bunch this country has seen outside of Yao Ming and eyeballs follow us like we’re some freakshow circus show. I guess our height coupled with our Western mannerisms make us stand out like sore thumbs everywhere.
I’m not sure if I’m more humbled or saddened by what I’ve seen here in the motherland, but it’s all been a very eye opening experience. 14 days left and four cities left to hit.
