PBR in China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Blue Ribbon under the Red Sun!!!

The long road to Ye Xing

Last week we had travel to Ye Xing to look at teapot.  The trip was not without it's little kinks.  Leaving Jingdezhen we encountered problems.  Two hours in our bus had broken down, blew the head gasket.  Mechanics fixed the problem, on the road, literally.

 After a six hour delay, we were back on the road (Lei Chow won the bet, never bet against a Chinamen).  Two hours later our buss broke down again.  This time it was night.  We called the police and they saved us, they called cabs and booked us at a local hotel, and made sure we got there and no one ripped us off. They got us a good deal on the hotel and even tucked us in, not really.  The Chinese Police are fucking awesome!  The next morning we were interviewed by CCTV. "American Trapped in China, Find it OK."

We got another bus and made it to Ye Xing, bought teapots for three days, no joke, and got back on the rode.  Our bus broke down again on the way back, this is how we felt.

But the bus was fixed again. After an argument, The bus driver thought the machanics had ripped him off, he used the same ones!  But they fixed it again and we made it home. 

The end

The Hole!!!

This is it, the Chinese Version of a Glory Hole (not really)

The Poop is for added effect!

This is a toilet.  There are some sit-down littered about but for the most part, you'll be shitting in this.  It is a porcelain fixture--not just a hole mind you--that was designed to be squatted over.  The Chinese must have figured that "hey we've been doing this for thousands of years, fuck you, we'll stand if we want to!".  In all actuality, I like the hole.  It makes everything faster and easier!  The position is probably the best for pushing out even the most stubborn movements.  In this position the legs are fully utilized and pressure comes from the whole body (another way to use your chi I guess).  The draw backs not as numerous as you would think.  Drunken shit adventures may be hazardous as you must fully support your self, clasping the wall or the pipe behind usually does the trick.  But hey, the alcohol content is so low in Chinese drinks that you probably won't get drunk any way.  The girls complain about splashing ankles during a number one.  But the most obvious drawback is the inability to read while waiting to hike the ball.  I've always been an avid bathroom reader but it seems that now, the bathroom is all business and no fun. but that's OK, on average I save about three hours a week! 

Thumbs up Chinese Toilets!
