December 6--Day 152

















Finally made it to the beach with Bridge! And, yes, we went to the beach. In December. I'm so glad we randomly met Bridge at dinner a few months ago. His English was pretty decent; he'd been studying for four months. Absolutely incredible. He's going to bike to France. And, ironically, he's going to Thailand too this Spring Festival. We had cucumbers and tomatoes, which according to Simon, is poisonous. We're not dead yet...   Weak stomach alert: Bridge told us about legislation they had to pass in the next province over, Guangdong,  making it illegal to eat stillborn children. Ancient times? Nope. 2011. It's strange to think of things like that, the things you hear about in third-world countries a hundred years ago mere miles from your home.
