Chinese Factory

I went to China yesterday for the first time in my life. It was with my cousin Joy and her designer for her company. They make office supplies, and all other kinds 'o stuff with Swarovski Crystals, I still don't understand what the big deal with them is, but anyways, they sell a lot of their stuff to huge brands in the US like Target, Sears, Wal Mart, so when you buy stuff there, you are actually buying my cousins product. So she was checking out a new factory yesterday because she wants to start doing woodwork. The thing is I've never been to a factory before, and it was pretty sad. All these people who work hours, and hours every day, just to get enough money to get by, and a lot of them were my age, it really makes you think. Joy even said that that factory was one of the better ones she's been to, and that a lot of Chinese factories just have terrible conditions with child labor, dirty water on the floor, no windows,and really hot conditions. I can't imagine going to one of those factories. On a happier note, my time with my cousins has been real great and they've been really kind. Tonight I might go out on the town with this girl who is one of my cousin's older friend's who is my age, super rad. Later gators.
