These are a few cultural differences between here and home that I've been noticing:
- Outdoor public exercise equipment (picture a playground for adults)
- Butt-less baby pants (kids are bundled up and wearing jackets but somehow there's a conspicuous lack of anything to cover up their heinies)
- People squating to rest their legs or have a conversation
- Incredibly inexpensive knock-off clothes, electronics, sunglasses, golf clubs, watches, anything
- Amusing Chinglish translations (protect the relics, protect the railings)
- Hole-in-the-floor toilets
- Identical buildings constructed right next to each other
- Smog that some days limits visibility to a block and a half
I'll continue to add to this list...

Are we talking bare butt cheeks or underwear?
Maybe the kids have explosive diarrhea and don't have enough time to remove their pants :)
i have a feeling that the squatting, the hole in the ground toilets, and the uncovered bottoms may be related... but i'm not sure
get back to me on that!
i'm so happy for you ellie, sounds amazing, thanks for the blog so that we the sedentary can live vicariously through you!
