Random Funny Things that have happened in China

Libby is doing great with me and joe. TB test was fine and we are counting down the days to fly back to the good ole U.S.A. Please pray that the Typoon that is schedule to hit Hong kong Friday morning does not prevent us from flying out - I would DIE if we could not leave here fri and so would my parents! Joe and I decide to share some of the "funny" things that have happened to us in china.....ENJOY!

1. Watching Joe panick in Beijing airport when our flight to Libby's province was delayed again and the Chinese lunch did not settle to good with his hmmmm "stomach". Total sweats and running around looking for a bathroom (*also no air in the beijing airport and we were in the basement packed with thousands other chinese travelers). Once he finally found a bathroom the only toilet available was the famous chinese squat toilet. Good times!

2. Our guide's name in Beijing was "woooo." We just had too much fun saying it. WOOO WOOO like rapper ludacris' song. And no matter what we asked woo's response was "itsss ok-a" ex. "Woo is the food good here? itsss ok-a" "woo where should we meet you? itsssss ok-a" "woo are we going to be to fly out of Beijing to Taiyuan tonight? itsssss ok-a", "woo is this pollution/smog or fog? itsss ok-a". So now we say it all the time to each other.

3. I got about (not even) halfway up the the 1st part of the great wall and realized fast that I was afraid of heights and almost fainted.

4. A chinese man approached Joe and asked him where he was from in America. Joe said Tennessee. Then the man asked him all about the memphis basketball team and asked if he knew any of the players, joe said no that we live in Nashville. The chinese man was quiet for second thinking he was about to asking about either the titans or famous country music singer but then he said "ohhhhhhh miley cyrus" seriously? miley?

5.Libby is not fond of anyone who is Chinese which makes it hard leaving the room. She won't eat chinese food - just wants to go to the american diner (lucys) orders fries, eats beef jerky and dances to music (*which the best i can decribe is like Delilah After dark radio station)

6. We were getting into a cab in front of our hotel room and it was packed with people behind us bc it was lunch hour also trying to get cabs. I jumped in and Joe of course had Libby and he was a little big for the cab and wasn't watching and tagged his head getting in. Everyone in line started laughing and pointing at him - I was crying I was laughing so hard.

7. Libby sitting in her chair at dinner and pulled her legs up while exposing her underwear. Joe runs to her immediately and pulls her dress and legs down saying "libby don't show your ladyness." Then turned to me and said " i don't know what to call it". I almost fell on the nasty floor i was laughing so hard poor Joe just doesn't know anything about girls.

8. We are the new Modern Day family....since Libby would only go to Joe the 1st week and is so attached to him so she calls both of us "momma" which drives Joe crazy. She will point to me and say "momma" and then point to Joe says "momma." Joe keeps saying I AM DA-DA. Its really funny public when she is running to Joe screaming with a big smile "MOMMMMMAAA." Definitely gets some looks from the locals.

9. Joe finally got some free down time and was so ready to chill out and watch one of the only english speaking channel (we get 2 channels HBO and China CNN) and HBO has been playing nonstop old 80s movie (so Joe's boy). Except for this time (his only downtime0, it was playing the movie "Milk" the shawn pen gay rights movie.

10. In Tayiuan, our bathroom was 3 clear shower doors and a wall of mirrors. Libby would not let joe out of her sight 24hrs a day. I will have to admit as much as I was heartbroken over her constant rejection it was almost worth it watching Joe daily do this crazy "shower dance" trying to make sure Libby did not see any of his manhood.

11. While touring the Jinci Temple in Tayiuan, we looked behind us at one point and had about 30 families following and taking pictures/videos of the us.

12. Joe having a Mom moment after libby was demanding him to hold and carry her everywhere he turned to me and said "i just need a moment to myself I am so tired of her wanting wanting wanting everything from me. I just need a "break" - hmmmm welcome to being a mom honey!
