It was interesting being in China... Now the Chinese people are very anti homosexuality. They don't really believe in homosexuality at all. However, they do somethings that would be considered homosexual in American culture, but I guess since they are so against it they don't think about what they are doing as gay. For example it is not uncommon for people of the same sex to walk down the street holding hands, especially women. Also men will call other men attractive. For example, I was at the games with a fellow American who was talking to a Chinese man who when describing his teacher said that he was "very attractive... and he looks like Brad Pitt. Now this is would only be possible in a culture that either has extremely high homophobia or extremely low homophobia. Now considering, I am not sure that I saw any gay people and from what I've heard they are very homophobic, I'm going to say that they don't believe in it the way that US culture does. So they then act real gay, so when you go to China look out for this extreme gayness...
Below are pictures from when I first arrived in China... Beginning with our layover in Seoul...
Something I forgot... I am glad that someone anonymously but astutely mentioned that the French women's 4x100 team leaving was also a major reason that it was time for me to leave, and in actuality if they were staying I might have also stayed...
