If I had one way to describe China it would be 10, multiples of 10 to be more precise. Here in China everything IS and is done in multiples.
In China . . .
There is10 times as much smog in the air,
10 times as many people walking without a care,
10 times as many buildings being built;
And 10 times more people than a restaurant can sit.
There is 100 more times of rice being eaten,
100 more times of tea being drinkin',
100 more times of illegal DVD's being bought;
And a 100 more times that you'd likely get caught.
There are a 1,000 more people that puff on a smoke,
1,000 more people that'll spit on the floor,
1,000 more people that'll greet you "hello!;"
And 1,000 more people that'll want to get to know.
There is one in a billion that you'll see an old man,
With a long white beard that he strokes with his hand;
For this part of China may never exist anymore,
So get off your feet and make your way to their shores.
Welcome to China!
