I have ten oranges in my bag. They were given to us as presents by various vendors. Food in China is a very big deal. No one misses a meal and it occurs to me, feeding a billion and a half people is no small feat. At dinner I am overwhelmed by the amount of people. It seems like they are pouring out of and into every opening.

我们在酒店用餐是因为晚了，坦率地说，没有时间探索。我早上离开。一旦女服务员宣布厨房正在关闭，桌子像水一样空着。一些涡流吸收了它们，现在我们是唯一剩下的。工作人员从桌布上拨打并折叠桌子。很快它看起来与餐厅一样，我很烦人地意识到空虚。

克劳迪娅（Claudia）为我提供了一个解释：“中国就像体育场的一波，”她说。当一个人开始时，接下来就是接下来。”我采用餐厅作为国家模特。中国的人数比美国多10亿，我们的规模相同。这个事实使我暂时感到困惑。一个国家如何以其规模如此统一？政府如何组织这么多人？我认为中国一定是一波。然后，我意识到这次旅行在这里结束是多么合适。明天，我将骑波浪。
