The Little Things

Crickets!

During my travels in China there a few things that come up that are especially interesting. I am going to talk about some of them. One of these things happened in Beijing. At the hostel there was a birdcage. Inside this birdcage was a small loosely woven ball. Inside this ball was an enormous cricket. Now, for those who haven’t seen “Mulan” or read about the pop culture of crickets, they are considered lucky in China and are kept as pets. They eat fruit and vegetables. Apparently they also fight these crickets for money.
