Today's Randomness

It's usually an everyday occurrence that I'm walking down the street or across campus and I see something that classifies as completely weird, insane, completely different, or just hilarious. After seeing these things, I'll think "You should really put that into a blog" and I never do. So, today. I'm blogging about the things I saw today.
First, while leaving campus I saw a guy somewhere within the age range of 18-21 which gloves that looked like they were intended for a six year old girl! They were white with Easter pastel colors splashed all over it! It literally looked like Easter exploded onto his manly white pastel colored gloves! It gets better, at the tip of his manly hands were huge white cottony soft flowing balls! HAHA! I tried so hard to keep in my laughter.
Second, the guy sitting behind me on the bus kept leaning up really close to me trying to get a look at my face. He was uncomfortably close, leaning over my left shoulder. Every time I turned at looked at him, he would back up but it didn't stop him from doing it again, and again, and again. The disadvantages to being a whitey in China!
Third, while sitting on the bus I saw a white guy!! I know your thinking umm... big deal, your white and you live next to your white friends, but I didn't know this guy! And he was just walking down the sidewalk with some people, so casually. After writing this, it's yet another slap in the face telling me that I can't get mad at Chinese people for being interested in me and staring at me, if I'm white and can't help but stare and be interested in the white guy!!
Fourth, I saw a Chinese guy wearing a U.S. Army jacket today. Weird.
Fifth, I ran into one of my sophomore students today, one of the really sweet ones! And he stopped and tried his best to talk to me, but his English really isn't that great. It took him about five minutes to form and get out the question if I was going to be their Oral English teacher next semester. It was so cute, how much he struggled, I think half of the problem was that he was really nervous! It was hilarious when I answered him in Chinese! He was so shocked and laughed so hard! I only said one tiny phrase but they always expect you to know nothing! It was great!

That's about it...
