Crossing the Streams and Crossing the Street

Out of the many things you see in today’s China one thing in particular stuck me last night as I was out shopping. Strangely enough I realized that I see a unusual amount of cross-eyed people. And I don’t mean they have a slight deviation. I mean one of those eyes is so turned in that they could probably see what their brain thinking. It occurred to me that there is nearly isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t see someone that is cross-eyed. It makes me think. Is this simply do to the fact that there are more people in China so naturally I am only seeing a higher number not a higher percentage of people effected by this? Or is it do to not being corrected at an early age. I have a cousin that wore those (oh so fashionable) glasses when he was very young to offset such a problem. This also leads me to another conclusion. I need to be more polite. I should think twice before yelling at the next person that knocks into me on the street. “HEY ASS, watch where you’re going!!!… Oh, um sorry you… can’t.”
