Do we even *have* any Chinese people here? I do know some Chinese people
who live in this country and I don't recall them ever complaining about
something not being authentic. But my Chinese friend who lives in Malasia
certainly does. I gather that they are bigger into rules and taboos over
there though than we are here. We were talking about clothing once and she
was telling me about how the women had to dress for work. Apparently it is
still a requirement for them to wear dresses or skirts there. And how no
woman except perhaps for an elderly one would wear skin colored undies.

I also realize that here in the PNW, people are for the most part very laid
back and don't really care too much about what other people do unless of
course it infringes upon them in some way. I noticed the other day how it
is rare to see women who are just out and about wearing makeup. And it's
just about as rare to see a man wearing a suit and tie. Except for those
two Mormon guys that I see all over the place. I think they are out on a
mission or something.
