Here’s another weirdie – a local friend recently told me that some Chinese will eat eggs boiled in the pee of a baby boy as it is meant to give them strength and purity or something

To extend- when pregnant looking at pictures of handsome baby boys to ensure that you have the same

-when pregnant not drinking tea, adding soy sauces to your dishes or eating chocolate to avoid coloration of the skin

… saw the spot popping again today, teenagers, on a park bench

One I’ve found works, a self made board of famous people glued on to it (make sure they are famous in China- Zhou Jie Lun;Lady Gaga;Michael Jackson;Obama;Beckham;Jeremy Lin etc). Students pair off, one chooses one of the characters in their mind (can’t speak it out)then they essentailY play 20 questions-

– are you (Chinese; a boss; married;American etc)

– do you (live in China;like singing;like dancing;come from America)

Good practice for ‘to be/to do’;nationalities or whatever you want to practice.

@Rick. I’ve seen the spot popping 3 times now, each time teenagers in hole in the wall noodle type restaurants

re: the glasses, thanks for the background… worrying. It’s gone away now but last year there was a craze for very small hats (esentially a hair slide with a glittery small hat attached to it and worn at a jaunty angle). I think this originated from Japan and Korea and gone away now, irrationally infuriated me when they were around though.

– couples popping each others spots in restaurants (oldschool romance)

– the glasses with no lenses (sneaking suspicion this may be a worldwide epedemic)
