Chopstickler: September 2012
http://wanderingpdxgirl.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
So, that happened. Saturday, September 15, 2012. Fact: In China, as is many other places, people like to keep their stuff looking nice by making it look terrible; that is, by never removing that clear or blue plastic cling film that comes on brand new electronics and appliances. Don't tell my secret. Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Stuff we are looking forward to eating in America! Tomato soup.and grilled cheese. BLTsbut no cheese. What are you, crazy?

Chopstickler: Day 13
http://wanderingpdxgirl.blogspot.com/2012/09/day-13_5.html
So, that happened. Wednesday, September 05, 2012. China is bananas. Giving directions in China is completely different than giving directions in the US. Overall, Americans are much more precise than Chinese. Just watch a Chinese cooking show sometime, you'll see. Chinese people (at least every one I've ever met) are not good at giving or getting directions, and are not good at finding places they've never been to. Peter: Okay, so to get here you need to come back. Me: Come back home? Peter: To the park.

So, that happened. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Peter: We have to give Max half of this pill tonight. If he poops worm tonight, we give him the other half in a week. If he doesn't, we give it to him in a month. Me: Boy, I hope he doesn't poop worms. Peter: Me too. They can really be harmful for dogs. Peter: And of course, our neighbors' dogs could get them from him. Peter: They're probably bad for the environment. Friday, February 17, 2012. Random Coworker: Ice cream is too sweet. Lunch It's very fatty.

Chopstickler: September 2011
http://wanderingpdxgirl.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
So, that happened. Sunday, September 11, 2011. So Close, and yet So Far. Margie and I are discussing marriage. Margie: My husband words for Shanxi TV. Me: I'm going to be a guest on the talk show, Hello Ni Hao. Margie: Oh, so maybe you'll meet him! Me: Maybe I can spy on him for you. Margie: No, that would be a waste of time. I never worry about what he's up to when I am not around. My husband is too old, fat and ugly to have a mattress. Margie: Oh, I meant a mistress. Basically the same thing, though.

Chopstickler: March 2012
http://wanderingpdxgirl.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
So, that happened. Friday, March 02, 2012. I've been administering self-tests in geography to students and teachers as a way to emphasize the importance of learning geography. I don't mean to be be pot calling the kettle black, but I've noticed these mistakes. Montana is really Washington. California is actually a state known as San Francisco. New Jersey is a city, not a state (I had to work hard to convince this guy otherwise). Mongolia is really Russia. The Yukon Territory is actually Alaska. Dice chic...
