I always saw the cartoons about digging a hole to straight through the Earth, and I wanted to try it. I never did, however, because of one fear. I was afraid that when I came out of the whole, with everything being upside down at that point, I would fall out and into the sky. It never struck me that coming out of a hole in China would be just like one in the US.
