Random notes from the Motherland
Huey is having trouble blogging. It's just a hunch, but I'm wondering whether the P-R-C doesn't like free expression. Until she returns, I'll be posting some tidbits from our conversations.

Huey also is...

TOURING: Dawn to dusk
VISITING: Went to Great Wall (a section built ages ago, incidentally, to keep out the Mongolian "Hu" people). Planning to tour Tiananmen Square in Beijing today and have her picture made with some communists. Off to Xian (SHI-an) on Tuesday.
EATING: Duck head
LEARNING: The toilets "for the chicks are on the ground. And when I say that, I mean the toilets are on the ground. Like a hole in the floor that flushes." (Using them is an acquired skill, apparently).
EXPLAINING: Huey's taller than the native women, so people assume she's from a mixed-race family. "My dad will be standing right there, and they ask if my father's white. He's like, 'Dude, I'm her father.' " She and poppa Hu speak "Chenglish" together, btw.
SNAPPING: Has taken many, many photos of hilariously misspelled signs for Fiscosity's other blog. Examples: "evacuation routs" and "afterawards"

Sincerely,
Matty
