China is the Most Populous Nation Because...

Encountered on the staircase outside the shops at the Portman Ritz Carlton | Shanghai Center

The Chinese like to screw.  I could not help but double-back and snap this picture with my  phone when I found it. Despite the fuzzy quality of my out-of-date piece of technology, I believe you can still make out the medication: Viagra. Most medications are prescription-free in China, from anti-biotics to sleep aids to case in point: Viagara.  You can see from the picture that this was not a lost package as it has been opened and emptied of its contents. Then, I gather the eager individual decided to rid himself of the bulky packaging on the steps outside the pharmacy at the Portman Ritz Carlton shops in Shanghai Center where I encountered it while shopping for vitamins because it's winter and I don't want to get sick. However, this humorous incident reaffirms my belief that the Chinese have sex on the brain just like everyone else.

Evidence #1: Walk in to any convenient store chain and you will see a menagerie of condoms (mostly Durex) at the check-out along with the chewing gum and candy. While in the US, I have never seen this. Aren't condoms supposed to be tucked away on some discreet aisle along with the tampons and pregnancy test sticks? 

Evidence #2: Four out of five weekdays in Shanghai are 'Ladies' Night' where Ladies drink absolutely free.  Specials will range from house cocktails to free-flow champagne until midnight or later. I have no idea how the bars make any money except that men will be where the ladies are. China especially, is a country where splitting the check is a seldom practice. Prepare to pay up gentlemen.

Evidence #3: Chinese women are hot (myself excluded). Judging from the raven-haired barbie dolls that I walk to work with each day; Chinese women are petite recreations of Barbie herself with porcelain perfect skin.  Beauty is such a huge industry in China from diet teas to special face creams to cosmetic surgery.  This nation is on the move and the women are in it to win it.
