Adventures in China

1. Cities planned for pedestrians. Luoyang is built for walking, biking, and riding the bus to most places, not driving your car. This means it is possible to walk from the bus station, to the grocery store, to the department store, to lunch, to the bus station and not be exhausted. It is a wonderful way to live.
2. Street vendors. With a higher density of people in the cities, there are more street vendors. You can buy a meal on the street at almost any time of day.
3. Seeing people walking on the street, not just cars.
4. The food.
5. The kids I taught.



6. Naps after lunch
7. People being patient with inconveniences or inefficiency. No one gets upset and yells at the staff. No one drives stupidly.
8. People taking good care of the things they have. Cleaning their homes and possessions on a regular basis.
9. Having lots of neat new experiences all the time. Being surrounded by thousands of years of history.
