October 5, 200816 yr All the way to China to find the one coffee shop run by my people! Who/where was No. 1?
October 5, 200816 yr How'd they treat you as a man of color? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 5, 200816 yr How'd they treat you as a man of color? It wasn't too bad for me, since I was with our staff and the kids had interpreter with them at all times. The Chinese kids were much more receptive then the older kids. When we first got there there were reports from athletes, their families and members of press that had experiences problems. I can say that "hip hop" and stereotypes about American Blacks run rampant. A guy called my cousin the "n" word thinking that is how all black people speak to one another.
October 5, 200816 yr Pretty interesting; that'd be a neat experience. How long until pedicabs show up in US metros? Maybe Atlanta? :wink:
October 5, 200816 yr How long until pedicabs show up in US metros? They already exist here in Cincinnati. They are run out of Newport and bring people back/forth across the river via the Purple People Bridge.
October 5, 200816 yr They have them in Atlantic City on the boardwalk. Well..sort of. It's all man-power. Intesting, I didn't know they had them in Cincinnati.

Yeah, I've seen these in Cincinnati, Washington, Charleston (SC), Seattle, New York, etc. Lots of places have and have had them for a while now.
October 6, 200816 yr Nice, looks like the pollution wasn't nearly as bad as I've seen. That's because they closed down factories for the Olympics. It normally is as bad as you've seen.
October 6, 200816 yr ^LOL Like when Detroit rounded up all the bums on the street and put them in shelters before the Superbowl.
