After mulling around Chengde now for approximately 10 days, Jeremy and I have concluded that there are a few things a person must do in order to fit in around here:
1. one must, if female, wear ankle-high nude stockings with ALL shoes
2. one must, if a male of the chubby variety, roll his shirt up over
his belly and tuck it into his collar so that his stomach is exposed
when he hot
3. one must, when driving a car, use the horn at least every 10 seconds
and even for no apparent reason at all
4. also if driving, one must have a complete disregard for all traffic
lights, signs, people on bikes, and for all markings on street
pavement
5. therefore; one must always be on one's guard when walking on
sidewalks due to the fact that a car could appear anywhere and at
any time
6. one must always keep handy a large plastic bowl filled with dirty
water for cleaning random items
7. on must also keep on hand at all times, a broom poorly made of thin
twigs and weeds that performs inefficiently
8. one must constantly clear his/her throat as loud as possible, cough
up phlegm, and then proceed to spit on the ground as often as
possible
9. one must litter often
10. lastly, one must be completely naive of the fact that there is such
thing as noise pollution and should be as loud as humanly possible
in any way possible whenever performing any task
I am sure there are many things that I am forgetting, BUT these are my top ten
