Well, it all started off with me cooking Cincinnati Chili for a few of my Chinese friends last weekend. The chili turned out really good (thankfully), but afterwards a few of my friends wanted to out out to sing karaoke… So, being a risk-taker, I said sure. Karaoke in Asia is quite a bit different than Karaoke in the States. In Asia you rent an entire room with your friends, complete with a TV and couch, and nothing more. Luckily, they have a drink menu (you would not have caught me singing if they didn’t!).

So, yeah… We sang till 3am!

This weekend we decided to get in more trouble. Off we went to a waterpark in Zhuhai. This waterpark isn’t much of a tourist attraction, and I happened to be the only foreigner in the entire place. That really doesn’t mean much, other than getting stared at a lot. Only, it gets worse… We walk up to the first waterslide, and I volunteer to go first, however the lifeguard didn’t like my typical American swim trunks… He said they were too thick. Now, I really wanted to go on this slide, and because my trunks have no netting, I tend to wear a Speedo under them… So, I walked around all day in my Speedo (I’m sure the Chinese girls loved it, and no, I don’t have any pictures for you)!

I also got told I was too tall for a few slides, kinda funny and disappointing at the same time!
