So we decided as tourists of Wuhan we needed to find all of the things we have been spotting in China that are different to our American eyes and get photo documentation. Cori created a list of things that we see everyday and have become used to seeing but are not common things to see in America. We split into two teams. I was on team HeyHeyHey (like Fat Albert) which consisted of Cori, Sarah and myself. We gave ourselves four hours to travel anywhere in Wuhan to find the long list of items. It was such a great experience I would like to share my photos with you so you can see the craziness we witness everyday and rarely bat and eye at.

here is the list:
An adult urinating in public
A child with krotchless pants (bonus if they are urinating)
Underwear hanging to dry
Drinking beer in a cab with our mascot (a Ken doll) -this is legal in China
An American Flag
Liu Xiang advertising -this is the chinese olympic hurdler who advertises everything
Americans advertising
Street sweepers (bonus if a member of the team is sweeping too) -Chinese people love to sweep day and night

Fall colored leaves -most of the leaves here haven't changed
Chinglish Signs -there are so many things written in English that are not properly translated, it makes us smile
Street performers
People exercising
People squatting in the street playing a game
Men with purses (bonus if there isn't a girl with him) -it is so common for boyfriends to carry their girlfriends purses. it is also common for a man to carry a 'purse' sometimes their purses are very feminine (we want Nick to carry one, no luck yet)
Jiao Zi -photo of our favorite dumplings
Playing 'frogger' -our group crossing the street because there is never a time where you cross safely, cars/buses keep going on red lights so it is a miracle to get across safely
Body of Water -we have two major rivers and lakes in Wuhan
A group photo
Bamboo
Stores next to one another selling the same exact thing
Photo with another White person we dont know
Photos of other Muslim noodle places -our favorite restaurant is a noodle place run by muslim people and there are many in Wuhan
Only in China -there are so many things you would only see in China so
