The Amazing Race

I would not watch the Amazing Race if not for the fact that it involves sending a bunch of clueless Americans running around China for three episodes (thus far).  It's all there--the frequently evil cab drivers, the inability to speak Chinese, the barber shops, the crazy street food on Wangfujing, the electric bicycles, the PLA, the painful foot massages, Beijing opera, Chinese racism towards people of African descent, the rude foreigners assuming that everyone in the world should speak/understand English, the Bird's Next, the tricycles, the cab drivers refusing to pick up foreigners...what's not to like?

I am SO looking forward to being in Beijing in May.
