i'm sold!

Found some old photos from China when organizing my files last week.

This was from our Chinese New Year trip in 2005 to Guilin and Yangshou in south China. Several things went wrong with this trip, and the trip alone could be a chapter in a book on hilarious China experiences.

We found these in our awesome hotel room, which was not reassuring...

Once saw a bug trap called "Monarch of Death" - wonderful bit of Chinese branding, making insecticide sound like a death metal act

was just thinking that sounds like a great name for a band...

The sad thing is that 16-year old me probably saw them

Love the husband-wife banter. :)

I'm thinking that if the hotel had a cockroach problem, at least they went with the very best chalk money could buy.

Dalton I am going to buy your book as soon as it becomes available. And when it gets made into a movie I will watch it 10 times.

you really should do a book. this makes me laugh so much

first of all, chalk? really?
second of all, google translator clearly helped them name the product properly.
