Culture Shock

We have expanded our family by one. Temporarily.

Yang, an exchange student from China, is staying with us for two weeks. On the way home from the airport we asked him to tell us a little about his home city, Dalian. He said it is a small city, only 6 million people. He couldn't stop laughing when I told him that the entire population of our state is about 1.8 million. And that there are more people in his school than within 100 square miles of our ranchero.

Of course, he's seen more dogs in the past hour than in his entire previous life, proving I suppose that population is relative.
