Everywhere we go that aren't desensitized to westerners, Dan and Julia (at left) both make an impression, though Dan seems to be the real oddity. "You Christmas Man!" and "Rub Buddha for luck!" are the two most common comments, though most folks want to take their picture with Dan or Julia. It's pretty comical, and you should see some of the expressions as Chinese walk into each other and stare, trying to goggle all they can. It's like being in the zoo. For grins, at the Forbidden City, Dan and Julia walked side-by-side for several minutes, and it was like a double whammy on the locals, seeing that much non-Chinese features together in one place.
