Can you help me find my swagger?

me to china

China, we have some things to talk about.

First of all, China, let me reassure you that I do indeed hear you. So you can stop with the firecrackers and the honking and the trance music.

Yes, China. It's true. I am a foreigner.

Indeed. My native tongue does sound hilarious. Yes, my appearance and attributes are comical.

China, I am not interested in the shiny array of of useless trinkets on your blanket.

Your use of pulsating techno does nothing to lure me into your clothes boutique, China. Neither your shouting DJ, relentlessly clapping clerks nor your terrifying Russian manequins shall make any progress on that front.

No, China. I do not wish to buy a flower.

Why, yes China I have heard of AMWAY. No. No, I don't know who AMWAY's CEO is. No, I also didn't know that it is the 17th largest cojmpany in the US.

No. I do not wish to purchase some soap.

Sure, China. I would like to purchase a coke. Actually I would like it to be cold. Yes, that is quite funny isn't it?

Alright, and let's get it over with.

Yes, hello China.

    Dear green-aproned monkey,

    I think I love you.

    PS you forgot how unbelievably amusing it is for the Chinese when they see an American actually drinking coffee, just like in the movies!
