Substitutes - Bring in the Second String!
I was 2 pounds over weight in my luggage, which cost me an extra $ 100.00 it was probably because I horded a 1 lb package of Twizzlers and other perceived ‘star players’ in my life. Ever noticed that if a major player on a sports team gets hurt and the coach has to send in one of the so called second string that sometimes he/she get even better than even the first string player? Well living and shopping in China for the ‘first string’ staples items such as food and household items is sort of like looking for my undiscovered second string players. Sorry “Twizzler team” but the discovered second string candy quarterback is called Meijue and it is my new star player. I do have to put up with the annoying manual dexterity challenge of opening the multi-wrapped goody to FINALLY get to the yummy gummy strawberry. Do I foresee a problem with being over weight by again because of horded Meijue?
So now after my VAST experience of living in China for 2 whole days I have come to the sweeping conclusion that I will be successful in this adventure if I am open to TRY the new substitutions. I am lucky that I have some good ‘scouts’ like Roger, Ms Sun and Ron (who got the huge 2 Twizzler finder fee). Watch out Mrs Chambers I may be trying something different the next time I am at Willies Weenee Wagon.
