Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because the street vendor was selling it on the other side.

I literally think I'm hilarious. I'll take that courtesy chuckle right to the bank, thank you very much. My picture uploader started working finally, so here's a million and a half pictures to prove that I have, in fact, actually been in China. Spoiler alert: I'm really not living in our unfinished basement pretending to be on the other side of the world.

This is Clement, our tour guide. AKA JACKIE CHAN!!! "If I die young, bury me in Clement's backyard." ~Shelby

Just me and my BFF Jon out for a cruise around Beijing! Literally so legit.

Part of our cruisin'. I'm obsessed with the fact that we rented scooters.

Yes. That is our washer. And I'm sitting on the dryer like a creep. But only because sometimes it gets a little bit...frisky? SO WHAT IF I LOOK LIKE I LIVE IN A PRISON.

Pooptown school! Just to clarify something--the name Pooptown isn't derogatory in any way. I love Pooptown! It's a term of endearment. It just smells abnormally of poop, even for China.

This would be urban Changyi. Just the 24 hour KFC on the right. Why do they obsess over KFC, of ALL things?

THIS IS THE TOBAGGAN FROM THE GREAT WALL! I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL TOBAGGAN BUT I SURE DID LOVE IT!

Just doing cartwheels on the bridge at the Bund in Shanghai. Yes, ALL Americans act like this. Haha. The Chinese people in the background. Classic.

This is our polyga-crew, minus Maddy and McCall. Hadlee, Jon, Shelby, me, Jess, Blythe. LOVE THEM!!!

"Destroying the ecosystem would FINALLY threaten the living of humans."

Most depressed Rafiki I've ever met. :/ But we were friends.

"Do not harm the animals due to the evil is little."

Just riding the ferris wheel at the zoo. Abnormally expensive, but it had to be done.

Bridges. So many delicious bridges.

I just intend to cartwheel all over this country.

I. LOVE. PANDAS. 

GIT THAT CORN OUT OF MY FACE! Plot twist: it's actually panda poops :///

I rode him. Please refer to Facebook for evidence. Thanks Miles, for uploading them! Don't be surprised  that he reads this. Because he actually doesn't. So.

Just our daily stroll through the park to the market to buy lunch!
