NEW POLL! When in China, do as the Chinese do

I am technically on a Cultural Exchange Program.  I came in search of whatever bits of history has escaped the Cultural Revolution of the last century, for pearls of wisdom direct from Confucius disciples and learning what it is like to live in a modern communist China.  I ended up with tourist traps for whatever bits of history is left in Beijing, Confusion, and Capitalism.

Obiviously, China is not what I expect but I'm resiliant and I can roll with the punches.  People either love or hate Westerners and if they love us then they real love us!  They try to copy everything that is Western and they hyperize it and turn it into some sort of cartoon version of what once was.  They are always trying to be whiter, they wear anything with a designer label, and they will buy cars for the status of owning a car, just to prove that they can.

One of the side effects of this is that there is this Bedazzled middle class that like to show off what they've got.  From shoes to nails to t-shirts to underpants all of it is Bedazzled and all of the folks who wear anything Bedazzled are Masters of the Ghetto Fab style.  This means having eyelash extensions...

so, do i do it?  Do I act like most of the other girls in my 'hood and get the fake eyelashes? Or is that too risky?  I'm going to end up going blind?  Or do you think that I'll look like a hooker gone wrong (which would be hilarious)?
