Lighter side of Life....

Few things that crack me up in Beijing.....

1) Quality time between a couple in a supermarket is spent, staring at live fishes, discussing which fish they should eat for dinner.

2) The locks for a bike cost more than a bike.

3) As soon as you tell a chinese girl in a rock club that you are "Indian" they start doing BharatNatyam.

4) "DIDI" in chinese means younger brother.( For non Indians, "DIDI" in hindi means Sister, mostly Elder Sister.)

5) Chinese men can beat anyone in skolling beer hands down. They do it everday for lunch and dinner with local 50% proof alcohol. If it's a birthday then only GoD help you!!!(In the country side it happens for all three meals!!! ;-)

6) We just celebrated Spring Festival(Chinese New Year!!) and a week after that we had snow, and the coldest day this Winter.

....9 months in this interesting city , I definately have learned something about culture and differences, haven't I?? ;-)

Over and Out...
