Title: Interesting gift
Post by: Jim on July 13, 2008, 10:55:24 AM
My B-I-L and his wife recently visited the People's Republic of China, had a wonderful time apart form the pollution that had him wearing an oxygen mask part of the time.  As happens they brought us back some souvenirs.  A jade necklace fo my daughter, a hand carved box for my wife and for me, a vintage copy of the Chairman's Little Red Book !  It had apparently been first issued to a Young Pioneer (Chinese version of Hitler Youth).

Pretty interesting choice for someone as anti commie as me but I really like it !

It really is red and little too.  I downloaded a translation, I understand its pretty hard core and violent once you get past the standard commie crap. 

B-I-L and his missus are libs and it was kinda funny listening to them tiptoe around the commie stuff they learned while they were there.
