China

Back to my story about living in China. So anyway... Farm life SUCKED. No TV, no computers, no phones, nothing. Everyday was the same old routine: wake up, toss something at the rooster, brush teeth, each breakfast, do chores the whole day, eat dinner, bath, sleep, and repeat. Life there revolved around chickens and vegetables. The most exciting thing that happened in that rural town was a truck driving through to pick up goods. Atleast I learned how to grow crops there... And how to take care of livestock should I ever need to.
About three months into my stay there, my grandpa finally let me do something cool: brand a cow. It was fun waving around a flaming brand... Made me feel like I was in the Salem Witch Trials. That was about the only fun thing I did the whole year...
During my 4th year there, we moved to a urban metropolis near Beijing called Guangzhou. The place wasn't that bad... I did have one complaint though: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too crowded. The streets are so crowded, it'd be hell if you were driving a car through there. My family and I rented a apartment near the more "busy" districts, so basically most of my days were spent sightseeing and shopping. I got away with some cool stuff, like a Gameboy Color (Which was considered high tech back then) and some other crap that's probably collecting dust up in my attic as we speak. Now that I think about it... I probably shouldn't have wasted all that money buying that stuff. Coulda saved it up for buying a new computer... Since this one is on the fritz. I'm too bored to keep typing right now... So... yeah... Part 3 later...
