CHINA IS SO BIG IT'S ALMOST THE SIZE OF A COUNTRY!

HUMP, HUMP, HUMPDAY!  Yes folks, it's WEDNESDAY!  And not a moment too soon.  If it hadn't become Wednesday until 12:01, we're not sure we could have held out that extra minute.  WHEW!  Just in time.  And you know what?  It's Humpday for all of you too unless you live on the other side of the International Date line.  We just learned about that and until recently we thought the International Date Line was a 900 number where you could meet loose foreign women!

Speaking of the International Date Line, we are in the process of preparing for our trip around the world and now are trying to get entrance and transit visas for various countries.  Tomorrow should be exciting because we have to appear in person at the Chinese Embassy in Los Angeles to apply for our visa to their fine country.  We decided against wearing our "FREE TIBET" t-shirts, and we also lied on our applications about prior felony arrests and previous sexually transmitted diseases (not kidding - they ask that!), so we're hopeful they will find us of sufficient moral character.  Doubtful, but we'll see.

Tonight we figured we cruise Palm Canyon Drive (OH YEAH BABY! - "THE" PALM CANYON DRIVE!) and see if we could meet up with any Chinese type folks.  We're hopeful they could give us some hints about what to say in the interview tomorrow, teach us a few Chinese sayings ("Hi sailor, new in town?,"  or, "You want eggroll or fried wontin?") and also maybe even give us some of the answers to the test we have to take.  We're not so good at tests, although our SAT scores were over 500 (math & English combined!).  Realistically, we give ourselves about a 50/50 shot of getting the visas and with a 7 out of 10 chance like that (see, we know our math!), we'll take that bet.  OOOOPS!  Time to hit the bars and try to pick up on some Chinese people, but it would've been easier if we just could have called the International Date Line...

       
Their idea of the International Date Line                                                      Our idea of the International Date Line!
