I’m visiting China with my mother and a group of other family members. I can see where we are and where we’re going on a map.
We have a guide who is very helpful and polite, but also a Christian. I make a joke to my mother about how they have "Thank the Lord Jesus Christ" printed on everything, but I feel bad when he overhears me.
China seems to be all about finding cheap watches and sheets. Many of the watches don’t work. I am excited to find a Gucci watch that I would wear, but when I take it out of the package the whole watch face moves around inside the casing.
And coffee, they are always trying to give us bad coffee, perhaps because we’re Americans.
Someone on our trip thinks she can make a mandala like the monks do. She thinks it will be easy to just run the sand out.
