I learned pretty quickly that you never know what you're going to see while in China. One day while I was at the mall, I looked up to find a baby squatting in the middle of it trying to take a dump. Another day while on the bus, the driver pulled over randomly just to get out and relieve himself. Yes, there seems to be a theme of public defecation here in China. Luckily not all the strange things I've seen revolve around that.
Late one night, my friend and I were walking up the stairs in our dormitory when something strange caught our attention. In an adjacent apartment building, a man had left his blinds open. Through those open blinds all we witnessed was his head, rocking back and forth.
We marked it as odd, but continued up the stairs where top part of his torso was revealed. He was shirtless. Then we noticed the odd grin of satisfaction on his face. We made our assumptions. This guy was in the middle of “something.” As we walked to the fourth floor, that “something” turned out to be a hilarious moment that I won't forget.
The man was alone, in the middle of his apartment, in black boxer briefs, hula-hooping! It was probably the last thing that we expected this man to be doing. We stood, in shock, before we took a step back and busted out into uncontrollable laughter. This man wasn't just hula-hooping, he was going at it in full force, round and round and round! It didn't matter whether he was alone (which we were both sure he was) or partaking in some freaky foreplay, but that man became an instant legend in my journey here in China.
