Wrestling Blogs - Ben Askren
Quick thoughts
Ok just two quick thoughts for my blog today.
1- They have these things over here called squatters, they are holes in the ground used as toilets, they really gross me out. I had to take my first duker on one the other day, because I couldn't find anything else. It really felt like a violation of my humanity, and I couldn't figure out how old people could manage, it was a challenge to me and I am a young healthy man.
2- The most fun part about Beijing may be the cab driving, it is so cheap and there appear to be no rules of the road. People run reds regualarly then in the turn lane on a straight green the turners always try to beat the cars going straight in the other direction, but it never seems to work. I have been less than one foot from an accident at least 100 times since I have been here, but somehow no one hits each other, it is like they have magic bumpers on their cars or something. I am still trying to figure out how there isn't an accident every other block.
That is all
