My dad went to China when I was a kid. It was a great trip for him, he saw a LOT of Chinese theatre, but back home things were rough. My dog died and the guy housesitting for my dad tried to kill his boyfriend in our house while they were both coked out of their gourds.
Somehow I've always associated China with someplace I would be likely to die because I didn't know something. In fact, one of my recurring nightmares is literally not understanding something in China and being slowly sliced apart by a huge corkscrew sort of knife, it cuts my body into pieces with excruciating razor-like edges moving SO SLOWLY.
LOL. So my point is: I'm glad you didn't drink the snake and I'm even MORE glad that you made it back to your hotel. The kindness of strangers is awesome.
