Chinglish


The sign was hard to understand, there wasn't anything you could burn up here. Coming down we found this sign posted everywhere but it only made sense next to the tables with 18" high footstools to sit on, No Naked Flames to warm your tea.

Moon Cakes - gifts for mid Autum Feastival. We gave out 100's of the big red box ones. Tomorrow I will get many more from all the companies we do business with. Monday is the holiday, I might get a day off. Tomorrow I play in a golf tournament, oh joy

Grandma fell out of a model T when she was 1 or 2. Grandma Edna was learning to drive and drove into the ditch. Mom flew out and into the ditch. She doesn't remember it but that's what her folks told her.

Giant rian storm - waiting for taxi

This will be a long wait - in line now for 35 mins and hardly moved. Taxis are rare when it rains at rush hour. This morning I stayed at the apartment on a conference call till 8:30. Then could not get a taxi, walked half a mile to main intersection and got one in 10 mins.

Had lunch with Mike Sheet's son - he is an attorney here in BJ. Been here for 5 yrs. Meet him before when he was 13 or 14. Recruited him to help with scouts.

A friend at church was a Woodbadge course director just before coming to BJ. We are thinking about doing the first ever Woodbadge course in China. Can you say Dragon Patrol! May need to import staff to pull it off, but it would be fun.
