fowlandfishmommy 10 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wow... huge rats, story about a lion being loose and snow suits in 60 degree temps! Quite the zoo trip :) The picture of the camels cracked me up :) Pray your household is getting settled and that it is filled with health and joy.Well thankfully the loose lion was back in April!! I would have hidden in my room for the rest of the time! Thank you, we need lots of prayers!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fowlandfishmommy 10 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Beautiful family! I had to laugh when you mentioned the squatter toilets! They have those in Japan and I don't use them either!Thank you! We just just don't understand how they are used. I just don't get it. I think they think they are more sanitary, but I beg to differ. Great update! I love your story. Thanks so much!!! I love your's also!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great update! I love your story. Thanks so much!!! I love your's also!! They're definitely not more sanitary when someone misses the hole in the floor and I step in their poop when I'm in there trying to get toilet paper! Yeah! We laughed when we saw the trail of poop in the bathroom, until we noticed it led right up to my foot. I ran out of the bathroom screaming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fowlandfishmommy 10 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have a few Chinese restaurants I have machines in and I always feel like they are all watching me. Now I know they are. Lol.What I wouldn't give for 60 degrees right now.What no snacks? I live for snacks.How did the pizza at papa johns compare to papa johns here in the states?Looking forward to the next update.Yay for questions!! Yes they are staring and they don't think its rude at all. So just we stared back. :) I know we are so sick of this weather. 3 boys trapped in a tiny house is NO FUN!!!!! Snacks - I know, it is very strange. Maybe that's why they are all so skinny. Now they did have like sugary candy. And of course pickled chicken feet and things like that. And grilled squid on a stick on the street. But no crackers or things like that. Well in Guangzhou we did find chips and their flavors are the BOMB!! The pizza was just like ours. They had other Chinesey weird stuff on the menu too. But the pepperoni stuffed crust was exactly the same. Even the garlic butter!! Yum!! I think my children would have starved otherwise!!

From what my husband said he heard while he was in one, there is no way it is sanitary! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for reading! We were so surprised with how different China was. We have traveled a pretty good bit, so we just thought it would be similar. We were very wrong! :) But it was a wonderful experience. I'm going to write a blog post soon about the value of taking them with us. They did so great and we would take them again every time.
