swimming pools

i’ve been in china over 4 months now and the loose concept of logic is becoming more apparent. i believe it has something to do with the fact that thinking for your self has been unacceptable for many decades. for example;
today i got told off for going swimming without a swimming hat – they have a fear of hair i think. but i have grade 2 shaved head and enough body hair for an entire province… so the logic was some what lost on me. my friend joe and i were angrily shouted at until we left the pool, defeated we returned to changing room, put two old carrier bags over our heads and went back in. we were greeted with smiles as we now complied to the rules, so we proceeded to do running bombies into the deep end donning our placky bag hats. tres chic.
