What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
By far the craziest thing I have ever done was board a flight to China for a month, by myself! I went with minimal awareness about Chinese customs, communism and the established laws, so I was taken back by what I saw and what I experienced. There was a sea of people everywhere I went, at one time I even saw 5 people on a tricycle! I viewed poverty stricken housing the size of skyscrapers, and at times when I traveled to and from cities I was advised to close the blinds on the bus so that I could not see outside. However, I was impressed by their advanced technology, hospitality and I admire the beautiful remote and rural areas of China. The once in a lifetime experience was very educational, eye-opening and inspiring.
