La Du Zi (拉肚子)

Oh La Du Zi... 拉肚子

拉 = to pull, stretch
肚子 = the stomach

Before posting anything about my Silk Road trip, I feel it necessary to explain this phenomenon known in America as Diarrhea.

Eat too much of anything here, and LaDuZi will strike, and fast. Eat anything for the first time here, and LaDuZi will strike, painfully. In fact, you can eat anything here, and LaDuZi will happen. Its a necessary part of the cultural experience when visiting China.

In order to hone and develop our language skills, we have added such words onto 'LaDuZi' such as:

熊熊 - raging, flaming (xiong xiong)

Alright, I'm gonna stop writing about it, for now. I await the two or three emails from the ___ reminding me of who all reads this....
