Culture Shock - Split Pants

For those of you that saw some of the pictures we posted on Facebook, you may have noticed my comment regarding split pants!  This is something that we still cannot get over - 4 weeks into our adventure! 

Instead of writing my own post on this, I am going to shamelessly steal from my friend's blog!  I know she won't mind :)

Personally, we have only seen a child peeing on the sidewalk twice in the 4 weeks we've been here, however, we have heard stories of a mother holding their child over a trash can (in public) to poop and of a young child going #2 right on the floor inside a shopping mall ... and then someone stepped in it and tracked it all over the mall!!!  Needless to say, we avoid any "puddles" we see when we are out and about as you never know what it might be!!!

As much as we would love to start potty training Ava, we have no plans of trying this Chinese method - no matter how effective it is!  However, if we come home for Christmas with Ava wearing split pants, you will know that we've really embraced the Chinese culture!  LOL
