Simple Minded...

To many, this would be an Insult. I think it matches China's Culture very well. The simplistic Nature and Beauty of China amases me everyday, and I always know how lucky I am to have this Chance to be here. Chinese Culture is not all about making Money, like America. Maybe it would be developed if it was, but I think, they are just fine how it is. I have seen this many Tymes, everytyme I walk to the Office in the Mornings, but I haven't yet said anything about it, and I'm not sure why... But in one of the Parks on my Way to the Office in the Mornings, there is a Pathway all around the Park made of polished Stones set in a certain Pattern. There is a Sign explaining the Significance of these Stones, and I wasn't able to read it befoure, but as my Chinese is improving, I'm able to learn more about the Mysteries of Simplicity. I was reading the Sign, and apparently, if you walk on this Path bare-footed, it will give you a nice Foot Massage, while also improving your Health. The Stones are placed in a Manner in which they can touch certain pressure Points on your Feet that go up your Spinal Cord to your Brain and actually massage your Brain!! It's a little strange, but it's something so simple, yet it's something so amasing. Why aren't Americans more Health cnscious? There is workout Equipment in all of the Parks as well. You don't need to get a Gym Membership if you live in Beijing, you can just go to the Park every Night. I would say Morning, but you will have to fight your Way through the Masses of elderly People doing their Morning Taichi and Workouts, haha.
This one, you may find nasty, because you grew up in a Society which is liberal, but still conservative when it comes to many Ideals. If a Baby needs to poop or pee, their Mother or Father will take them near a Tree, and if they need to Pee, they will hold them and make a "shhhhh... shhhhh" sound, and they Baby will pee. If they need to poop, they will perform the same Ceremony, minus the "shh" Sound. You may find this nasty, but if any of you are Parents, you KNOW how much Diapers cost, and if you could get away with this in America, I'm SURE you would. It's actually cleaner than Dogpoop if you think about it. I mean, nobody intentionally feeds their Baby anything harmful, and if they do, they should be tortured to Death. So, the Poop of a Human Child, is much cleaner than a Dog's, considering that Dogs will nose through Rubbish to find Food if they really want it. That's not a proven Fact, that's just something I thought of... Dogpoo maybe cleaner, I just doubt it. I thought it was really nasty at first, but now that I've been living here for a while, I just kind of got used to it. I actually like the Idea. I mean, if it saves you Money on Diapers, GO FOR IT! They are hella-expensive!
Chinese People's Homes do not have more than they need. Most of the Houses are about the Size of an american's Bedroom. They are very conservative when it comes to Space. You should see the mass Numbers of People crossing the Street everytyme the "Walk" Light comes on! It's insane! No Matter where you go, SOMEBODY is walking near you. If you end up in a Place where there are no other People, you probably shouldn't be there...
