China, a culture shock favorite

Ahhhh China… how i love thee.

It’s like you stepped into a parallel universe.. one with millions of very tiny people.

Some of those, evidently like to strip and pee in public. (and hold impromptu karaoke sessions on The Great Wall of China, but let’s leave that for another story..).

In the entire trip, 90% of my China Picture Gallery is a culture shock!

So my trip to Beijing, China was my first long-distance Travel Adventure.

I had the best time, discovering the local side of Beijing! This became possible, because I visited my friend Chloe, who has been living in Beijing for over a decade.

I traveled the 19-hour journey alone and by the time I arrived in Beijing I was jet-lagged, exhausted, and thoroughly confused.

Where am I? What day is it? what time is it ?? and more importantly where is my bed ?!

First things first though, a quick bathroom visit to brush my teeth, wash my face and pretend the jet lag hasn’t officially kicked my arse.

China Experience – The Striptease

In the bathroom, I went, and off with my business.

I was standing in front of the sink, with my toothbrush in my hands when two Chinese women waltzed in chatting to each other.

I was still standing there minding my own business when this lady – who I am crowning ”Naked Pee Lady” stood in the middle of the bathroom and proceeded to leisurely take off her clothes.

Every.Last.Bit.Of.Clothing.

Now I am a professional dancer folks, so I’m definitely used to seeing skin.

But the sheer casualness of just stripping in front of a good 25 strangers had my toothpaste dribbling down my chin.

There she is, casual, naked, and happy about it chatting away to her friend in the middle of a crowded airport bathroom and a lot of confused faces.

China Experience – The Squatting

I started thinking of various scenarios.

Is this a prank? Maybe she’s a bit crazy? The confusion was REAL.

But wait..Striping apparently wasn’t enough.

Because soon after, Naked Pee Lady proceeded to bend over and squat – yes squat! in front of her suitcase to find new items of clothing to wear.

Thank the Lord I thought – At least there are clothes in the horizon.

Meanwhile, Chloe rings: ”Tiaaaa have you arrived? I’m waiting at the airport! What’s taking so long?”

I whispered ” Babe I’m here, but I came to brush my teeth and there’s a naked lady squatting in my face!! ”

Chloe: ”Tia this is China, so to be honest I’d get out before she pees!”

”As IF she’s going to pee!” – I thought…BUT SHE DID.

In to a cubicle, she strolled.. butt naked.. and proceeded to pee (and chat) with the door wide open.

Then…. wait for it… She got up, turned around, and reached deep into the bottom of her throat for the deepest most ear-splitting SPIT I have ever heard.

If I wasn’t busy experiencing the culture shock of my entire life I would be secretly impressed!
