A petite hodge podge

Here are a few tidbits about events I've forgotten to mention over the past weeks:

The gang eating at Tim's Texas BBQ in Beijing. Out of place? Yes. Delicious? Oh, extremely. Texas A&M, Longhorn, Kansas State and TCU paraphernalia cover the walls, and the host said good bye with a hearty, "Bye, partner! Ya'll come back now!"


Chinese volunteers riding around on the official Olympic mopeds. I've had a chance to ride on one myself, and it was zippy!

Comment made by a Chinese volunteer to me:
"Traci, I am shocked you read."
"Why?"
"I thought pretty American girls only party."

"I thought pretty American girls only party."

That certainly rings true for a lot of the people here. And they don't have to be pretty, or female.
