What if you spent one week in ancient China? Day one, you stroll into the capital, wearing your hoodie and airpods. The entire market freezes. A silk-robed merchant squints and asks if you're a foreign barbarian shaman with glowing ears. He calls for the guards. You sprint away yelling. It's just music. Day two. Your first attempt at a proper greeting. You bow awkwardly to a Confucian scholar. Instead of the deep respectful bow, you do a casual subnaught and fist bump the air. He gasps, declares you've insulted the rights of heaven and earth, and starts lecturing you for three hours about filial piety. You zone out and accidentally say, "Cool story, bro." He faints. Day three. You try to impress at the Imperial exam ground. You pull out your phone to Google some classic poetry. The proctor sees the glowing screen, screams, demonic artifact, and smashes it. Your defense? It's just Wikipedia, dude. They think Wikipedia is your evil sorcerer, master. Day four. Banquet at a noble's house. Everyone's using chopsticks like pros. You grab a drumstick with your hands and start eating like a caveman. The host's wife faints. Day five, the Emperor's guards finally catch up. They're about to throw you in a dungeon for disrupting harmony and spreading strange speech. Out of pity, a kind official lets you go. On foot. You trudge out of the city gates as a street musician plays a mournful peep-a-tune. You hitch a ride on an ox cart back to the future somehow.
