So China is a pretty cool place. There’s this enormous wall that meanders around the mountainous countryside for over 8,800 km and has been around for over 200 years! It was built to keep out the rabbits or something like that. It’s supposed to be the biggest wall in the world. I visited it not long ago and it was so amazing! Extraordinary! Unbelievable! Unforgettable! But for some silly reason, the Chinese only seem to think it’s great. So they called it The Great Wall of China. Which is a bit disappointing for all the other walls in China, because they can never surpass this status of ‘great’. So, here is an ode to all the other walls in China, that are good, but because of that really big, really old wall, can never become great.
