That's So China

Today when I got home from work, I was walking up to my apartment building and heard a chicken squawking. I turned around to see a man in a sports coat and slacks taking a chicken out of his black Peugeot sedan. The chicken was uncooperatively trying to escape from a cardboard box, so he put his black leather briefcase on the box lid.

I went up to my apartment, but few minutes later when I was again getting on my elevator, he was coming out, with the box and the chicken. He put the chicken in his trunk and drove away.
I'm not exactly sure what happened, and why, but a story that involves a chicken, a briefcase and a Peugeot is one that needs to be shared.

I never cease to be amazed by the juxtaposition of things both modern and undeveloped that make up China today.

I think "That's so China" should become a regular blog feature.

This is a good start for a mystery novel.

My favorite sitcom is "That's So China!" It comes on right after "Growing Up With Lady."

Thanks, Colleen, for the suggestion of making this a regular feature. The mystery novel and sitcom scripts will have to wait...
