Interesting story

I just thought of something funny that happened this weekend that I wanted to share with you guys that I forgot to put in my last post. You may not think it is as funny as I do because you where not there but I will try and tell it as best I can. So one of my friends and I decide to check out this old antique market place that we had never been to before. So we get in a cab and head down to there we finall get there and my friend is up front paying for that cab and as he is doing that he is opening the door. I was watching him pay and trying to talk to the cab driver to make sure we had enough and that everything was Ok. Then I hear this loud thud sound. I was like what the hell was that. It turns out that as Brian was opening the door right when get all the way open at its apex a guy road by on his bike. The door knocked the guy over and into a car and an orange cone that happened to be sitting next us. It took about 10 seconds for me to realize all of this I was really concerned the guy was going to be mad but Brian just tried to help him up but he was just ignoring him acting like you did not need. Then we tried to say we where sorry and then the guy who Brian knocked over started having words with the cab driver so we just kind of walked off. We later learned that in China you are not supposed to help people up even if you caused them to fall down because by you helping them up it may cause them to lose face. Which is a whole other topic for an entire post in itself I will write about it and try and explain it if I can ever totally figure out the concept of the Chinese saving face it is very interesting. I thought that story was pretty funny but like I said if you where not there maybe you didn't just wanted to share i.
