Pollution is a real thing in China. I was knocked out for two days because of it. When I left my friend was still suffering from it. Its really, really, really bad. I might go so far as to send a 'thank you' letter to the EPA for not letting businesses fuck up our air that bad. I mean for two days I basically breathed exhaust fumes. I was asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. I passed. I'd rather fight it out in the hotel than be part of the Chinese medical system. I have no faith in their ability to help me at a Chinese hospital.. and yes, I did visit a hospital. It is not like what you and I call a hospital... it is very, very, different.
I did manage to avoid the squat toilets. So yay me for not blowing shit on the back of my legs (the key it to really get low...really really low). But I did eat parts of animals that I would rather not recall. Chinese people have figured out that if you dip anything is a sauce it can taste good.
I am much better for the experience. But I am not planning to leave the good Ol' USA anytime soon. Did I mention the pollution is bad?
