This is not like that at all. Similar in texture and consistency, but it is sweet and tastes really good I had that Ayran stuff, man was it disgusting. This is not like that at all.

I agree, being here has definitely increased my level of patience (of which I have almost none). It's either be calm and know that getting upset or frustrated will solve nothing (complaining especially almost always accomplishes nothing) or don't be calm, let every little thing get to you, and have an aneurysm in a month or two. Stevo, sounds like a great subject for your next post! I do hate standing in line. As Cartman would say, "I haaate lines!" I think maybe it's more the unnecessary standing and not so much the waiting. Personally I avoid fast food at all costs. Though I hear that in China the American fast food restaurants are quite nice?

I can't be zen while waiting my turn at the BOC ATM. The lines drive me crazy. I can do an ATM transaction in 22 seconds. Why does the average ATM transaction in China take 22 minutes? I am thinking of running a Speed Banking course, as well as one on ordering properly at KFC or McDs. Bank lines? I can’t be zen while waiting my turn at the BOC ATM.
