Hey all!!!!
So I'm finally back. I realize that its been around three weeks or so since I was last online.
First off, Hello to all of you who may have joined up in that time, and welcome to Bon Bon.
i hope everyone's holidays went swimmingly?
For those of you who care to read this far:
China was amazing!! I only stayed in Beijing, (except for my road trip to the Great Wall) but I must say, it is a wonderful city, full of life and energy at all times of the day. If you guys ever go there I must recommend that you try a dish called Hot Pots. It is quite literally a hot pot. They pour in a soup base with spices and such of your choice, and then you boil whatever the heck you want in the soup. It was really really good.
Just as a heads up, the driving part of the culture there is still sort of.... up in the air I guess. I had a taxi driver who drove on the wrong side of the road for a good 5 or 6 blocks.
Anyways I must say, the forums have been changed around a little. A fair number of changes in such a short time. May take me a while to get used to navigating it.
Once again, I hope everyone's holidays were full of cheer!! _________________ Alain Daishar Profile: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8174&highlight= |

Rautor, Heck yea I'm down to be friends. One of the greatest things about this forum is how open and welcoming everyone is. Not to mention, they do have some pretty good advice on just about everything.
Adept, I actually stopped a fight, between a young chinese man and an older taxi driver. I had no clue what they were fighting over (I don't speak chinese in the slightest). I did eat uncommon foods for the US. I had pigs feet, scorpions and live sea horses to name a few.
I went to china as part of a conference, so naturally I was there with a bunch of professors. Well, i went out with a couple of them one night ( same night I had the scorpions coincidentally). Anyways, when we got out of a subway station a young lady walked up to one of the profs and asked if he wanted an escort. it was probably one of the funniest things I had ever seen. He just kinda turned and mumbled no thanks and shook his head. She then walked by me and said "hello little boy". to be honest I was a little insulted cause I was definitely the biggest person in our group, but still.
anyways long story short, no I didn't. course that wasn't really my aim at all in any case.
Oh, and I did have some chinese beers with said profs, and from my limited knowledge of beer, they were pretty good. _________________ Alain Daishar Profile: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8174&highlight= |

Wow, that is an amazing story. I would provably never be able to go that far on my own. I guess I befriended one of the most interesting people in this forums, hehe!
I love katanas by the way!
Hehe, I should definitely write a poem about this! _________________ If there is a obstacle in your path SMASH IT WITH THE POWER OF BELIEVING THAT YOU CAN DO DO IT! |

I think its important for people of many cultures to join a group so different ideas flow throughout the group. And is also very fun to hear all the stories about the different cultures. This is also a good way to keep open minded.
And also to experience new things, hehe! _________________ If there is a obstacle in your path SMASH IT WITH THE POWER OF BELIEVING THAT YOU CAN DO DO IT! |
