House Keys

Things that you may or may not know about China:
-Doors can't not lock when you close them.
-The toilets are squatty's, but still can be flushed.
-You are not permitted to put toilet paper in the toilet, rather in a nearby garbage can.
-Babies poo and pee at will in shrubs or garbage cans, no diapers needed, instead pants have giant slits from where all waste can be expelled directly.
-You are never ever more than one hundred paces from a: Bank, KTV, Cigarette/Alchohol shop, hairdresser, milk-tea shop.
-Lots of intersections do not have lights, everyone works on the trust system
-Every morning thousands upon thousands of woman street-sweepers sweep the streets.
-Giant water spraying trucks spray the streets and boulevards playing jingles that Western Ice-Cream trucks play, very deceiving.
-Children can buy beer
-The stereotype of everyone spitting doesn't exist (I think it was part of the 'straighten up for the Olympics movement' that put a halt to it)
-It is very common for males to leave one or two finger nails around half an inch long, for purposes I'm not entirely clear of.
-Everyone showers in the evening, not in the morning. People are very picky about the bed being a clean place.
-Going out for BBQ is a popular evening event, BBQ's are usually made up of tens and tens of tables, flamed food on skewers, and good times.
-Everyone bikes, walks, and drives SLOW, but they speak really fast. I wish it were the opposite.
-The majority of the male population smokes.
-In the warmer climates they have siestas
-An imaginary line drawn along the middle of China (roughly) determines which places get heating for the winter and which do not.
-Gifting someone with a clock is like wishing death upon them
-When giving money to someone it is best to hold the money with both hands.
-Living rooms are typically very empty and very simple. One or two chairs, a television, that's it. White walls and tile floors.
