I loved the answers for weirdest thing you have eaten, so what about the weirdest thing you have seen?
without a doubt, A camel... At a Mcdonalds. Maybe this would be not tooo out of the norm in a place like xinjiang or something. But this was in Shenzhen. The owners looked homeless and where toothless and had major crazy eyes going on, scared the living crap out of me.
2 days ago, also in shenzhen, maybe the guangdongers saw it on the news. This lady, buck ass naked, probably a meth head as she was uber thin, hanging out of a 4th story window threatening to jump. About 5 thousand creepy dudes with cell phones out getting their rocks off on the crack head spread eagle above them. This was across from my house, I dont know if she jumped, traffic eventually moved and I went home before the show ended.
mengxing:
That last one is so sad, but I love the camel at McDonalds, haha! Was it having a Big Mac?
SwedKiwi1:
I might have seen the same camel. The owners seem to be travelling around Guangzhou and Shenzhen on a camel. Mainly begging it would seem.
In a small town in Zhejiang, about 8 in the morning, a completely naked man walking down the street. Then he stopped to pee on the side of the road, and then continued walking. The weird part was actually the fact that no one seemed to notice him or find it strange.
I was out riding last year and bumped into 50 camels on the road. Had to ride in and around them.
But, as Mike alludes, I'm in Xinjiang so perhaps it's not that unusual.
mike695ca:
did anyone own the camels?? was this in the town? Hahah I couldnt imagine 50 camels just hanging out down here.
royceH:
It was about a km out of town. There was an ancient woman and young kid hanging around so they might have been taking the camels for a walk. But from where and to where....who knows! There's the town, and then there's desert. And you should've seen how the people's eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw me. And how their jaws gaped open when I wished them a "g'day".
BTW Mike, I just read that someone thinks you're a dickhead, but likes you. Do you remember Dick Emery?
royceH:
Yeah. Very funny fella. One of his characters was always saying "oh, you are awful, but I like you" before smacking the person to the ground. Hahahaha....
Day 2 in Suzhou, one month into my new life in China. Fanciest Chinese city I've seen, I love the place, I got a job, I finished one month of training in Mandarin language... It's gonna be great. I take the bus. Inside, I see a young mother making her kid (at least 5 years old ?) pee and poop in the small garbage bin next to the exit door. Half of the delivery fall next to the garbage. Nobody bat an eye. Nobody say a thing. It's all quiet. I feel I entered the 4th... na, at least the 6th dimension.
DrMonkey:
Fast-forward 3 years : a mom attempts to the same in Suzhou Museum, in a room with 3000 years old artifact. None gives a shit, but this time, I scolded her...
I saw a little girl shitting into a hollowed out watermelon. It was the height of summer, 35+ degrees. A public WC was just across the road, yet the mother stood watching, her arms crossed, smiling proudly, as if she was being super responsible not letting her kid shit on the pavement. She was even kind enough to throw the shitty tissues into the melon, too, before just walking away and leaving it there to bake in the heat.
Yeah, sadly....more of that going to the toilet stuff. The man holding the little girl up at chest height against the pilon in the dancing square so she could piddle all over it.
And the two girls in matching dresses aged about 10 squatting down beside the flowers along our lovely canal in full view of all the walking people and watched closely by the proud man, with the new toilet block barely 50 yards away.
For some gender balance the two men wearing white hats and taking a crap side by side in the gutter beside the small restaurant street.
Oh, and the backwards walking, self flagellating persons who regularly fell into the sea along the coastal walking/cycle path in Qingdao.
The last one's not real, but I often thought how funny it would be it they did actually fall into the sea while walking backwards and hitting themselves. Naturally I would've been the first in to save them.
It is hard to say... in China... the weird becomes the norm.
People holding doors and being polite is weird now lol.
I think someone held a door for me once or twice... perhaps I was dreaming.
mike695ca:
Haha Very true. When people are polite to me its a big deal. " Honey youll never believe what just happened!!! A man didnt close the door in my face!!! Plus he said hello like a man! Didnt giggle or nothin!!"
Though it's hard to believe even by Chinese standards, I once saw a guy with a plastic bag trying to catch fog. What he was hoping to do with it is anybody's guess.
