Think I would have started this thread with "I knew a guy", but hats off for being honest and sharing. As the Expo wound down, we had the Asian Games here in GD, and with it came the checkpoints. My rule of thumb is to always stop for guys in full battle armor holding powerful firearms. Other than that, flip up the visor, smile, big hello and pretend you think their waving. I let the wife take care of all the driving whenever I have a few drinks, that only cost me the right to ever use my car again as now she thinks it's hers.

Instead of breakfast, brushing your teeth and green tea, eat some blue cheese, Chinese are terrified of that stuff.

Cheers!
