Home Of The Flying Chicken

I've been driving past this restaurant for 4 years, but never had the nerve to go inside.  The sign says it's the only one in the world - now, I know why.

Mentally Handicapped

I suppose there's a chance that the person driving this Porsche also needs a wheelchair.

Accident

The factory dog, who is still just a puppy, was hit by a motorcycle over Songkran and broke its leg.

Here it is showing off its new red cast.

Good Clean Fun

You know it's Songkran when two boys pretend to pee on each other in the middle of the Mega Bangna sidewalk fountain.

It's Official

We've been adopted by the neighborhood cat who is making sure we are well fed.

East Meets West

Somebody has finally invented a toilet that keeps Asians from squating on toilet seats (leaving muddy footprints and often breaking them) and also prevents westerners from blowing out the knees.

There's a frog in my soup.

Inernational Dispute

Nuch and I having an argument via WhatsApp while I'm in China and she's in Germany.

Carpet Cleaners

One of our chinese customers asked me to cover my feet before entering their showroom. A brilliant idea because I dread visiting customers that make me take my shoes before entering - an extra sale just isn't worth untying and tying my shoes again.

The Golden Oriental

I've had some luck with hotels recently. I had a staircase to a second floor loft and full bar in my last hotel.

This one in Dongguan had a fancy entrance and my own steam room.



Wrong Way

They say the chinese do the opposite from everything in the West. They drink hot tea to cool down. They read back to front and right to left. Instead of shaking someone else's hand they shake they're own hand.

And in this picture you can see my taxi driver using the off ramp to enter the expressway instead of the on ramp - notice the back side of the signs.
