Hunchback

Today's day in the life of China, is all about brooms. This is not a subject I have spent much time contemplating but since I started forming a buffalo hump I decided it needed to be addressed.

First off, Chinese people aren't short. I always thought they were. My mother-in-law is short; so is my father-in-law. Come to think of it, Rich is quite short. (Funny I never noticed it before.) Since these people were my gauge, I assumed all other Chinese (besides Yao Ming) were short. Nope, on average Chinese and Americans are about the same size. So my question is, why do they build everything using the shortest Chinese person as the model?

For example: my kitchen counter is 6" shorter than what I'm use to; our shower head is mounted on the wall at my eye-level and mirrors are always cutting off my head. I have learned to live with these things, you adapt. But why do they have to make the brooms so stinking short? My back is killing me.

Me and My Little Tikes brooms. Good thing our apartment is small.

I guess it could be worse. I could be using one of these

Enough about that. 

Here is another little Chinese oddity, ladies dancing in the parks, on the streets or anywhere else they can plug in a radio and busta' move.  .
