CHINA: DRESSED TO IMPRESS
With the upcoming Olympics just a week away, it's no wonder that China has been on my mind recently more than usual. But when I heard this story, we just had to laugh.
Four million housholds in China have been given a booklet by the Capital Spiritual Civilisation Construction Commission detailing how individuals should dress, comb their hair, shave, shake hands, stand, etc.
Here is a gist of the do's and don'ts:

Do:
Men should shave daily
Plant their feet slightly apart, in a "V" shape
Darker stockings should be used to cover thicker ankles
All residents should go easy on garlic and clean their mouths

Don'ts:
Do not wear more than 3 color groups at a time
Do not wear pajama bottoms in public
Do not wear white socks with black shoes
Do not walk around bare chested
Do not fight over who settles the bill
Do not wear a high collar if you have a short neck.

China is definitely trying to put their best foot forward for the Games. Hopefully it works.

Now, if only we could get some of the Chinese-Americans here in the USA to follow some of these same rules . . . =)
