Some Worldly Notations:

• In Germany, you can buy a beer, play foosball, and watch the world cup on 8 TV screens, all at McDonalds.
• In France, the waiter will wait until you have eaten eight 4X4 inch slices of cheese before informing you that it’s actually butter.
• The girls in France like showing you their breasts.
• The Belgium waffles in the U.S. taste better then the ones in Belgium.
• In Switzerland, they tell you the ‘Titleist’ golf ball is actually pronounced “Tit-less”
• Italians drive small cars.
• In London, a lot of taxi cabs are Mercedes Benz’s, because Toyota’s are too expensive there.

• If you’re a girl in Holland, you can smash into a guy’s car and get off with a spanking.
• In Amsterdam, you can piss in the middle of the street, do drugs in a local bar, then shop for prostitutes in store front windows--All legally.
• In China, they sell you a 4X4 inch piece of toilet paper for one third of one penny at the public bathroom. You can only buy one piece each. The lady next to me bargained for 5 minutes to get the price down to one sixth of one penny. Of course, the bathroom is just a room with a hole in the ground.
• Some cab drivers in Beijing are members of the Chinese Mafia. They look just like the Sicilian Mafia complete with trench coats. I gave a driver $50 bucks to get to the Hotel pronto, so he crashed through the guard gate at 50 miles/hour then proceeded on the freeway at 100+ miles/hour. At night the road was filled with coal trucks and log trucks with no tail lights. We did not see the trucks until we were right on them and had to swerve to avoid them. I found out later that the 50 bucks was almost 3 months wages for the driver, so he was really, really happy.
• The freeway from the airport to Beijing was new. In the past 3 months since it opened, 65 farmers were killed on it, trying to cross to the other side. They put up a fence, but still the farmers were getting run over. Worse than a deer in headlights man.
• Very poor children in China look identical to the very poor children in Mexico.
• In Mexico, if something falls on your head in the store, you can’t sue anyone—they just consider it a hazard of life—so you have to watch your own ass.
• The food in Mexico is outstanding, unless they cook it in local water.
• You can get noodles at the McDonalds in Hong Kong.
  There are no obese people in china. (maybe one in a couple hundred million, but I did not see them)
• I saw ONE obese person in Hong Kong. And only THREE obese people in Taiwan at the post office.
• Back in the U.S., there were 14 obese people at the post office out of 16 people in line. And TWO big ones behind the counter. (so odds are I am offending a reader right now--But I'm obese too, so I can say big and fat.)
• Pretty girls spit thick spit on the streets of Hong Kong.
• In Vietnam, there is usually a large bug found swimming in your soup. But everyone just flicks the bug out and continues eating.
• The penalty for smuggling drugs in Taiwan is DEATH, and if you commit a crime with a knife or gun, then you will be shot in the head until dead.
• Guards carry machine guns at the Hong Kong airport.
• I bought $200 worth of fireworks in a Japanese department store. Then celebrated the Fourth of July with 50 other neighbors in Japan for five fun filled hours. Back in the U.S., there are ZERO neighbors celebrating the Fourth of July in front of their house. It has been illegal to do fireworks in San Jose California for the past 30 some odd years.
• The pigeons have slanted eyes in China.
• A family of five can commute comfortably in Taiwan on a two wheeled scooter.
• In Taiwan, you can pull up to a red light, but before it turns green, 50 to 100 scooters will have cut in front of you. In Beijing, same thing except they are bicycles.

• You can still get dog meat in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam and China. In china, they had dogs hanging in the little street kiosks.
• I had a chicken butt on a stick in Japan.
• In China, they served a whole pig. And the anus was served to me in a little bird cage looking thing as the most prized and tender piece.
• In the morning in Taiwan, the restaurants smell like urine. Because a prized breakfast to some old timer’s is cooked in horse piss. You can get that in the U.S. too if you go to the right place.
