just like home
this past weekend we had a night on the town with a few american (and one cali-british) friends. we met at the movie theater downtown to see Hancock, in english! It was wonderful, and just like home...except the A/C was broken in the theater, and our bucket of popcorn was soaked in sugar instead of butter. After the flick, we walked over to McDonald's for some grub. Burgers, fries & cokes, just like home...except the double fish fillet sandwich was smothered in wasabi. We needed to finish the night off with something sweet, a McD's soft serve ice cream cone, just like home...except they wouldn't serve it to us. (they had cones, they had vanilla ice cream, but for only china knows, they wouldn't put the two together. we could order the ice cream in a sundae form, or a cone with kiwi swirl gel ice cream on it.) Ah China, just like home...except not.

hehe, just do not like home. We have the opposite experience in US.
This is the first (and only) blog I read, and I love it. You are so poetic and I can so picture what you are talking about. (It helps I was there!) China is a fascinating place.
popcorn smothered in sugar? that would affect my movie going experience in a serious way! but the wasabi covered fish at McD's would have made up for it:)
