Free Trip to China, Yes You Can

So, what do you have to do? What is the catch? Who said there was a catch anyway? Sure, that invitation sounds unbelievable, and it sounds like it cannot possibly be real. But wait, maybe there is some bits of truth in there. How can you get a free trip to China? No, I am not saying to get a video of China and visit in your mind. I am not saying to pretend you are in China and not see the Chinese people or reach out and touch Chinese artifacts or eat Chinese food. Here is how you can have a free trip to China. Ahh, I see you are still waiting for the catch. And, perhaps you are partially correct, there might be one catch or two but it will not cost you any extra money. Do not run to make your reservations. Do not go out and spend lots of money on a brand new wardrobe or electric converters. Wait. Here is how you can go to China, right here. Yes, you can go to China right here. I hear you, you are still wondering, how can that be? How can anyone take a trip to China for free? And you figure there is no way to do that, correct? Well there are a few different ways to do that and I will let you know some of them right here. First I will list the ways, and then you can choose your own way. And I would love to hear your ideas, suggestions and comments on my thoughts here. Do you have a better way to get a free trip to China. Send it this way. First, some ways, and after this list, more details: Go to Chinatown. Yes, you heard. You must visit Chinatown in New York City. Take the bus or train over the Chinatown. If you go to downtown Brooklyn, you will find a bus called the B51 and it goes straight to Chinatown right from Brooklyn. It does a look through the city there in lower Manhattan and even goes past City Hall. Once you are in Chinatown, you will see why I call this a free trip to China. Go to Brooklyn, New York and find The Great Wall supermarket on Fort Hamilton Parkway. You will be right at home here. Details are below. Go to 8th Avenue in Brooklyn, from the forties to the seventies and you will find another large area in our city that is a mini-Chinatown. Here are more details about The Great Wall. There are so many things that you will see inside The Great Wall. First, almost everyone indoors there will be speaking Chinese or Cantonese or some other Eastern/Oriental language or dialect. The employees are all Eastern and or Oriental. When you fir st walk in the door, to the right, you will think that you have entered the doors of an ancient acupuncture artist because there are jars and jars and jars of all sorts of herbs and concoctions, names that you can not even pronounce. These twisted, brown,yellow and other color herbs and plants line the shelf, all in large jars. The signs on the jars tell you that some of these ancient herbs and plants are almost ninety dollars a pound and or more or less. And the amounts on the shelves let you know that someone, somewhere is using these ancient medicine herbs to do some healing. This counter, the herb, pharmaceutical counter is on the left and you will pass it on the way out, unless you go in there first, walk around the store and come to it first. On the right is the long ramp; yes, the store is wheelchair accessible, so you are welcome to shop here, and or just browse. There are no salespeople clamoring to ask you what you want. You are on your own, in your own space to br owse at a leisurely pace. Go over to The Great Wall supermarket on Fort Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn, New York or go over to the other Chinese supermarket that is on 86th Street in Brooklyn, NY, USA, and spend some hours there. You will think and almost believe that you are right in China. And that is probably the closest experience that you will have next to actually being in China yourself. Go over there. Take the Fort Hamilton Bus; I believe it is the B16, but check with MTA just in case that is incorrect. I am telling you that from memory not from my notes. You will come to endless aisles of fruits, vegetables, ancient foods, interesting foods, and some specials also, depending on the day you go there. For example, the day that I walked in, there was a man bagging kirby cucumbers and there must have been at least twenty or thirty cucumbers in that one bag. He kept bagging them and saying they cost only one dollar! Wow, where can you get a whole bag of kirbys for only one dollar? Usually, kirbys cost about 80 cents to one dollar per pound! So that was the special today. I purchased the oranges, which at the time were selling for about five for two dollars! Excellent because they were so big and they looked plump and juicy. Wow, to my surprise, when I got them home and unwrapped the peel, I saw that these oranges had a reddish/pink tinge to them, almost similar to the pink grapefruits only deeper in color. And they were absolutely delicious and well worth the money that I paid for them. All through the store, from the packaging to the products, to the displays to the employees and to the customers, you will think you are really in China and not in the United States any more. Even the fish department, the live department will be so reminiscent of China, you will not believe your eyes. There were live fish in huge tanks, and there were trays of fish right in front of you still trying to gasp their last breath. And, yes, they did look like they were suffering even though salespeople will tend to tell you that fish do not feel. Ha, how in the world could a fish not feel? Well, I am just thinking of seeing them trying to breathe in the air because there was not enough water to cover them up. Do not care what anyone says, that has to be painful. Have you ever tried breathing under water without scuba-diving equipment? Probably not! But I would bet that if you tried that you would be in some great pain and probably have lungs and or brain that would be permanent ly damaged. Well, there you go, right back in China, with that experience of seeing the fish breathe their last breaths in the air, not in water. Yes, you will see the Chinese decorations and be able to purchase Chinese souvenirs, those big dogs, and great selections of chopsticks. And most of the packaging sports all Chinese language and Chinese words on them. Your selection of chopsticks here, and quite reasonable prices too, is great. You can choose from wooden ones, bamboo and some plastic ones that look like imitation ivory. They are plain and painted and all are useful and beautiful. I found packs of chopsticks there about ten in a pack or twenty in one pack for under two dollars. You cannot beat that price. There were scores of buckets with all kinds of fish from tuna to octopus, from salmon to scrod; all these fish were there, cleaned , scaled and on display and yes, tons of shrimp graced the display also. So there you are right in the middle of an absolutely, genuine Chinese fish market right in the supermarket. I went to the counter and asked if they took American Express Travelers Checks, and the lady said, no. So, if you come here bring cash for your purchases. This place is a nice store to bring the youngsters to if you want them to have a genuine Chinese experience without having to pay for the plane fare for a trip to China. They can learn as much here as they can from a trip there, at least in that small amount of time that you have. So, next time you want to go to the Great Wall of China, do not head for the airport, just head for the B16 bus and that will take you right to a free trip to China!
