Hmmm. Not all bad advice.

Beijing advice on looking good for the Olympics

[snip]

“Don’t ask foreigners their age, marital status, income, past experience, address, personal life, religious beliefs or political beliefs, it says.”

By “personal life” we assume that they mean “sex”. I wonder what people in China (or Taiwan) for that matter, think of such advice. Could be along the lines of “What do you talk about then?”

This is the more reasonable advice. For the lowdown on what and what not to wear, say, and do, read it online here:

One comment for “Hmmm. Not all bad advice.”

  1. And further, the article mentions: “one shouldn’t wear white socks with black shoes”. Which reminded me of Steven Wright’s reply to someone who ask why he wore two different colored socks. He said he didn’t go by color he chose socks by thickness. =)
