Priceless Oranges 

Case notes an easy way to make friends in foreign places. Reminds me of how popular I was in China -- while touring the three-gorges, our riverboat anchored to a barge with nothing but oranges, baskets 'n baskets of oranges. Having tourist status, they were happy to take my Yuan. I watched the farmers bargain with Chinese travellers for around two hours until the crowd dwindled. Amused, I returned with my last three $1 dollar bills and they joyfully gave me all the oranges I could carry.

(Speaking of which, I've come across two Where's George's. You?)

This post is dedicated to the displaced monkeys of the three gorges.
