Hello,

Well it will be a while before I actually am able to post about China (I'm still writing Cambodia and Vietnam), but I wanted to at least send out a story from my tour guides in China. Below is my favorite joke. Remember this was told by a Chinese man.

A man died and quickly discovered he was not permitted into heaven. He went down to hell to discover that there were actually two hells: capitalist hell and communist hell. There was a very short line to get into capitalist hell, and at the gates was Bill Gates.  The man asked Bill Gates, "what is capitalist hell like?" Bill Gates told him that in capitalist hell they chop up those who enter and burn them with oil. The man shuttered and decided to try his luck in communist hell. He arrived to see Karl Marx guarding the door and was surprised to notice the long line of people waiting to enter communist hell. The man asked, "what is communist hell like?" Marx told him that in communist hell, victims are chopped up and burned with oil. The man was confused. "You do the same thing as in capitalist hell. Why is the line so much longer to enter here?" Karl Marx frowned and said, "well in Communist hell, we tend to run out of oil."

That's all for now, I'll write more after I finish writing Cambodia and Vietnam, but I wanted to share that before I forgot it. Its been a fantastic few days.
