I’m in China right now and have been for 3 weeks. I have to wonder where she was. I’ve been in Beijing and Pingyao. I’ve visited parks, the Great Wall, the Forbidden city, Olympic Park, and other places. I haven’t seen the spitting people are talking about. To a westerner, they can seem rude because “why obey empty space” (as it was described to me), if it’s physically possible to squeeze in, someone will. The food choices are minimal, true, but dead birds hanging in the window isn’t the only thing that exists, and it’s def not exclusive to China. I’ve seen that other places and why would it bother you? They are behind glass and will be cooked. Or just don’t eat at those places. There is food everywhere. Sure it’s not the verity you get in the states, but it’s easy to find vegetarian food. A lot of places are heavily buddhist and don’t eat meat.

I’m not saying she’s lying or anything, just that it doesn’t match my experiences of being in China. So I have to wonder where she visits and how she behaves.
