... a birthday party with friends, regardless of where I had met them or how I knew them, was born. (Thank you Michael.)

... to a gate with an exceptionally long name. Having been in Kaifeng a year and not knowing the answer, I felt a little sheepish. “Um, I actually don’t know,” I said. “Let’s see what it is,” said Mike.

“Sure! Let’s find out.”

This time two rows of thin Chinese women in tall thick high-heels greeted us. The shoes were sparkly, gold, silvery, and the heels looked like short blocks of wood. There were only women. And based on the movements I saw, my lack of sexy pelvis twisting fit in.
