Q: Lifestyle changes you made?
The list is long and sometimes hard to beleave ...from eating more rice and noodles to the weak beer .
but i am not putting used toilet paper in the little bin.
How about you?
Treating every fart as if it could be an extremely embarrassing and messy mistake.
I think most people who have spent any time in China could relate to this.

I bought plunger in my Wal-y last week ....
I don't even have basket in my can. 2nd basket is on the balcony ...
I've gotten pretty used to not smiling at people i don't know, pushing people when getting off the bus, staring at people who look strange, etc.
Postscript - i forgot to mention very carefully and conspicuously counting the change i get back from cashiers and taxi drivers.
Right in front of them.
haven't driven an automobile in about 12 years. never would have thought my lifestyle would have ended up in E/SE Asia and I wouldn't be owning an automobile. I pretty much grew up with them you know.
miss my ol 'Vette
retiredinchina:
yes, i have a 68 chevelle supersport convertible in storage with the original 8 track player still in the car, i do miss cars big enough to screw a fat chick in the back seat and buying gas everyday to outrun new yuppie cars.

my older brother had a Chevelle SS,, I'm thinking a '72 model if I remember correctly, one bad-ass ride! I went back to the US for a visit about 4 years ago and they were showing me their new cars, Toyotas or somethin,, my sister and her friends I mean. They fkn had computers in them! that's the thing I noticed the most,, didn't even feel like a car to me. I told them then and there I would never buy one of those 'modern' cars. they just fkn suck. felt like a robot or somethin'
now my 'Vette had some personality,,, yeah,, had it's mechanical flaws,,, but that even led to it's personality if you ask me.
retiredinchina:
vettes are nice when you are young and invincible, but hell on the back if the road is not smooth when you are older, my back feels every bump now, it is a hard ride, but on a smooth road it's just this side of heaven.
i miss a good bowl of chili with sliced onions and real saltine crackers, pinto beans and cornbread, cornbread in buttermilk. dammit, now i'm hungry.
diverdude1:
jeez louise! I grew up with Pinto beans n Cornbread too! it was a defacto competition amongst the family and friends about who could make the best! I still think my Dad made the best pot of beans,, and my Mom made the best pan of cornbread! even though later in my 20's I thought my cornbread turned out pretty respectable too ~
