Violent Pillow

One day in Shanghai we went and explored Old Shanghai and then walked to the Yu Yuan Gardens, which is the most complete classical garden in Shanghai. It has Ming Dynasty pavilions, elaborate rookeries, arched bridges, goldfish ponds and DUMPLINGS. THEY WERE OMFUCKINGODGOOD.

We had actually just eaten before we went to this famous dumpling and tea house. But we didn’t care. We ate like the fatties that we are.

One is so big that they actually give you a straw so you can suck out the soup and stuff from the middle.

Deborah sucked too fast and burnt her tongue.

Seriously. We were told by Deborah’s sister-in-law not to go there because it was too catered for tourists. We didn’t care, they were amazing.

Oh yeah. The gardens were cool too I guess.

Sooooooooooooooooooo one thing we noticed quickly while we were in China is that little kids there don’t necessarily use diapers. We talked about it and decided that it was just an expense that they don’t really care about. But what about little kids you ask?? What if they need to go to the bathroom in public really really badly??…
WELL THEY JUST SQUAT DOWN AND DO THEIR BUSINESS RIGHT THERE!!!

Notice the little slit on the pants??
These were worn by kids EVERYWHERE.
Deborah. Was. Mortified.
It was hilarious.

We saw kids pee all over the place. The Great Wall? Pee. The Forbidden City? Pee. Shanghai’s The Bund? Pee.

China Rules.
