Q: What's your regular day like living in China?
Bored out my brains in the middle of no where in the north of China. I got it sweet here but still waiting till I can finally go back to the jing.
Anyway while i've been living out here I was wondering what all the other people do on an average day in China?
I have spent the last 2 days wondering why the chinese pepperoni pizza I ordered had a photo of a pizza with pepperoni on top, but the pizza they gave me had the pepperoni under the cheese.
Every day has a WTF moment.
Hit a good one and it can occupy your brain for weeks.

lol....that's a metaphor for life in china, and not just for foreigners. This week my wife bought a storage rack on taobao. Manufactured by a "french" company. It arrived. All good. Quality is excellent. Instructions in french. To cut a long story short....you can modify the design to suit your needs, so wifey contacts the dude who decorated our apartment. He recommends a shifu. I'm on the sofa reading while wifey explains what she wants. He babbles away and i pick out "troublesome" "impossible" "difficult" many times. Please note he arrived with no tools and an offsider. The offsider did a runner when he saw me. The tool-less shifu left without attempting anything claiming he'll return on Friday. Wifey told him to fuck off. I hired a decent drill for the walls and a mate is coming over tomorrow night for beer and bbq to help me sort it. I could have used your daughter's lego skills in the redesign process.

Another one is the knockoff KFC places showing pictures of a "big mac" and then receiving a disappointment with no sauce or middle bread layer. My theory is they just get the pics from online and then chabuduo it.

I once ordered the steak from a Chinese 'Western' restaurant.
It came with rice and what seemed to be strawberry jam.
I can only assume they got the recipe from a picture of a steak dinner and saw it came with some kind of red sauce. Well sauce and jam is the used the same way in Chinese and they got the colour right so it looked sort of authentic I suppose.

On top of that, why don't KFC deliver fries but they serve fries on Person? Don't make enough?

work, eat, sleep, watch tv, do some bed exercises, drink some beer
I do my morning jogging, shower, cook a nutritious breakfast that's high in protein and vitamins for me and my husband, then I dress casually, put on sunscreen and find some good places to head to with my Mac, my camera and my drawing tools. I create some arts and designs for my clients, and make some more and upload them on my website, and my paintings usually sold out before they are dry. So I book a door to door collection on my iphone with my delivery company and get the arts send out and get the money in my hand. I enjoy the sunshine and the day light. Basically I do whatever I wanna do. Freedom, my time, my family. That's all I have.
