Trying to buy something mundane at FuZiMiao and the starting price not being about 200% more than you just bought it from the same vendor a week ago - 85pts!</description>

		<description>I had a Chinese boyfriend while I was living in a small sunny city in China.. As I&#039;m a foreign girl does that mean I get 70 points just for looking in the mirror?</description>

		<description>Seeing the sun and a blue sky in Chengdu, 75 points

(Seriously, this place makes Beijing look like sunshine city.)

Seeing a motorist voluntarily give way to anything of equal size, 25 points
Seeing a motorist voluntarily give way to anything smaller than their vehicle, 50 points

(But for the second one, mobs of pedestrians and cyclists don&#039;t count. For the first, black Audis with tinted windows and lacking reg plates trump everything else.)

&lt;blockquote&gt;A foreign man partnered with a Chinese girl or woman of similar age, 10 points
A foreign man partnered with a much younger Chinese girl, 25 points&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wrong way round. You&#039;d see far more fat, ugly 55-year-olds with their 25-year-old Chinese girlfriends up Wangfujing than you&#039;d see foreign, twentysomething boys with Chinese girlfriends of similar age. Perhaps around Chinese universities.

I can think of a bunch of others, but they end up being of rather dubious propriety.</description>

		<description>You can judge the number of points for this but it should be pretty high - possibly a never to be repeated event...

&#039;A taxi driver who asks you to move your bag because it&#039;s obscuring her view of the mirror&#039;</description>
