Was is it about Waitresses in China?
There's just something about them that drives me crazy. I think it's the scarves they wear on their heads. Makes my apartment feel cleaner just thinking about it.

You'd have to get a Chinese girlfriend though. It shouldn't be to hard.

We'll see. The last one went crazy after she graduated so I'm a bit cautious with Chinese girls. On that note, there is this girl with great eyes. I marry her in a second. Make that half-a-second.

Actually, no. I'm unfamiliar with that term. Here, all the brothels are barbar shops anyway. Knocking 'shave and a haircut' has an entirely different meaning.

Hey, what city did you say you were in these days?

I love the Chinese penchant for uniforms! The various hats, aprons, epauletted jackets, and so on. I enjoy seeing the women at the bakery in their french maid-like get ups. Then the baker walks out, of course in white with a tall chef's hat.

I'm still not used to seeing road laborers wearing sport jackets, though.

DaShi, for you it's waitresses, but for me it's young Chinese policemen.

Yep! Sometimes instead of the traditional spiral stripes, they have red and blue maple leaves. They also have an unusual number of young country girls smoking cigarettes out front at midnight. Who's getting their hair cut at that hour?

Maybe DaShi?

DaShi, for you it's waitresses, but for me it's young Chinese policemen.
I'm in Hangzhou again.

Don't know about the policemen, but some of the policewomen are cute. On a trip to Ningbo we had quite an attractive one with us. Unfortunately, she didn't really seem to enjoy being around foreigners so she basically clung to my female boss.

As for the brothels: Despite China's open and honest reporting of HIV cases in their country, I think I'll just stick to the old fashion way. Though I do need a haircut.
