Excellent Ego!

Trying to do these comparisins is fun and fascinating stuff, like my cousin in new jersey and i do whenever we’re together. but it is futile. don’t lose sleep over it.

here in china they always start on the left knee then skip to the toes on the left foot, work towrds the heel and then up the calf.

LOL! one of the funniest damn things i’ve read here!

yeah, well, that goes both ways…..

this is no exaggeration. exactly why i like to stay put during “golden weeks” and travel during nonpeak times. ticket prices often also double for the benefit of being able to enjoy the hellacious conditions for golden week travel.
