A Story that explains my time in China

I was recently having a look through the depths of my computer and found this email. I really does explain my time that I spent in China. So many new friends and new experiences…I also managed to make it into the Chinese Newspapers with an article entitled ‘Luke Floorwalker’!! hehehehe

Hello Everyone,

This is the first of my emails regarding funny things in china.
If you like, you can read it.

China is a place that helps you understand the world. Ok i went to this YHA in Shanghai and talked to Hiroshi and Takishaki, they were round jolly Japanese fellows, they drank Chinese beer and told me about the AK-47s they were firing in Cambodia 4 years ago, they couldn't hold them straight so the chickens they were trying to shoot flew off, 10USD. They were very entertaining, apparently a rocket lancher is only 200USD to shoot a cow.
They told me about what they called the 'hand bombs' (hand grenades). Hiroshi did the action and threw an imaginary 'hand bomb' , he seemed very excited.He said, "mmm a little dangerous me think"
This pair of jolly japanese fellows I found out later, had been to 35 countries. They got lost on a camel in Morrocco, with lots of water!, it was yummy water said Hiroshi.

Everywhere I walk a little dude jumps out and says Rolex, Mont Blanc Pen, DVD, today a little dude wanted to shine my shoes (they are runners) I agreed cause they looked a tad shabby, then he instantly pulled a chair out and shined them, then he wanted 50 RMB,ahhhh, rip off, I gave him 20 and ran like the wind. He yelled something, I smiled and said New Zealand in chinese.

I ran up the Oriental Pearl Tower twice and talked to CCTV and Oriental Post, halfway up whilst qualifying, I really needed a W.C cause I had drank too much chinese gatorade, and asked a little fellow who looked official and who had popped out of nowhere
"WHERE IS W.C!??" I pointed to the nether regions
'ahhhh W.C' he said

"NOOOOO" and pointed up!

There was only one way to go, up! To the finish! Ahhhh, I ran like the wind to find this sky W.C and managed to have a little lady give me a ticket all in chinese when I came to the end, it said 12 on it in arabic numerals, only later did I find out that was the finish and I had qualifed for the big run. I guess it was a great run just for the fun as all the chinese dudes running with me were helping each other and I helped them, one notable fellow was very polite and wasn't feeling too well himself, I said, don't worry superman! Too the top, lets do it! He smiled and said, Superman and we sprinted up the next flight.

Until Next time

May the Floor be with you always
