It's hilarious. :) Have you gotten used to the perpetual use of car horns as a driving strategy yet? It’s hilarious. :)

They’re a bit pricey for China though, around 50 RMB… Though now that I think about it, that’s only $7.50.

Once, I saw a man dressed as Popeye (for the chicken and biscuits chain in the U.S.) in Beijing. Tell me what they're putting on their pizza nowadays since cheese is a challenge to get.

Glad to see the artists are still bothering tourists. It must work. :) 2. That's the rip off fee. You ARE paying for the ceremony. 3. Have you had any fried eyelids or something like that yet? :P Keep up the posts. I'm feeling nostalgic right now... 1. Glad to see the artists are still bothering tourists. It must work. :)

It's how you know you've gotten out of the west, that's for sure. $4.5 for the first cup of tea, and higher after that? Geez, that's nuts. I thought things were supposed to be cheaper in China. A cup of tea here in Amman, bought from a street vendor, is about 50 cents USD. Maybe you're paying for the ceremony. Or, perhaps I misread that, and that's only the rip-off fee anyway. What's the usual price for a bit of tea away from the tourist sites? Ahhh…tea. It’s how you know you’ve gotten out of the west, that’s for sure. $4.5 for the first cup of tea, and higher after that?

I love how when you travel internationally people always tell you where you are. It's kind of like a combination "see how civilized we are" and "we know that's where you white people hang out" thing.
