There has been something that needs to be said about this capital city of the most populous nation on Earth. It sucks. Doesn't mean I can't make it my own and have a great time. Like they say when in Rome. But this isn't Rome. This is the foul-stenched, dry as a lizard's ass, rude as Rush Limbaugh without his pills crap city known Beijing.
First the dryness. My god it's so dry that I'm bleeding. Literally bleeding. I have patches of scabs all over my legs and back. I was recommended to get a humidifier. They sell for about 100-300 RMB. Relatively cheap for the comfort of non-bleeding skin. But being the cheap bastard that I am, I haven't bought it yet. What the hell? I know.
Foul -stench. People smell. Almost everyone has halitosis. Sewage lines break and yea. Poop city in front of your building. Appetizing.
Rude people. I loathe thee.
In other news, I've been trying to find stuff for me to do. I might audition for a community theater, take up swing dancing, or join a book club. Weird options eh? But that's what I have found available on the expat forums and I really don't have a choice. My chinese is not good enough. Hopefully, one of these will be fun!!
