Re: I like Americans
The kids and I were at the city wall in Xi'an China. We hailed a taxi and after picking us up I hand over the hotel card so he knows where to take us. The driver turns to me and says, "I like Americans."
He then pulls to the side of the street to call the hotel and confirm where we're going. Meanwhile, a lone guy standing on the sidewalk sees us in the cab and sends out a simple, "Hey."
On the Great Wall, we were stopped by random strangers asking us to have their pictures taken with us.
Who wouldn't love moments like these?
After the first few days in China, I turned to my teenage son and asked him what surprised him the most. His reply was, "How nice the people are."
