Ok, so when I am in an enclosed space for long amounts of time, I can get goofy. No, that is wrong, I don't have to be in an enclosed space, I can just get weird sometimes. For some reason, while riding the train, I had the urge to act like Julia Roberts in "Runaway Bride" and make my leg a tent pole and my lips like a duck-billed platypus. I was disappointed however to find that my lips do not do like Julia's (big surprise) and I cannot make my leg go perpendicular to the ground(aside from standing- you get what I mean based on the picture). Oh well, I tried.

Looking down the hall on the train. Windows to the left, bedrooms to the right.

This is the soft sleeper car on the train. It was a thirteen hour train ride, but most of it was sleeping. The beds are pretty comfortable so it isn't a bad way to travel, though it is really weird to be sleeping in the same room with people you don't know (men you don't know). But such is the Asian traveling life.

I live in a city that is major hub for internet dating. Men from English speaking countries go on-line to find an Asian wife. There are several website that promote this activity, but my city has a special website. Women can pay equivalent to almost $2,000USD to have their profiles posted on this website.
Whenever I go to the Walmart area, I always see couples (normally an older caucasian male with a young female). Why? I don't fully understand the man's motives, but the woman gets a visa to a developed nation.
Tonight I translated between an American man and a Chinese woman who are going to be getting married tomorrow. It wasn't a difficult conversation. He didn't have any black shoes and she wanted him to buy some tonight because they would not have time in the morning. He was tired and did not understand why they could not wait until morning. I am confused as to how much marital bliss there can be when you have to use a computer or a translator to talk to eachother.
I guess they are both getting what they want. If only they knew that it isn't What they need.
