China Travelogue Part 1

Jul 30, 2007 03:43

Over a year of slacking, and I'm finally inspired by murdercitydevil's entertaining Japan posts to finally put up some of my photos from China. Since it's been so long, I'm sure I've forgotten many of the amusing details, but best to get as much that I can still remember down.

That last picture is really awesome. I tried resizing the giant version of it to fit my widescreen and test it as a wallpaper, but it just didn't work well once cropped.

I'm glad you decided to post these.

Yeah, that's my favorite of the first batch too.

Shanghai looks insane, I can't believe nothing was going on. Just from looking at the handful of pictures I have to see this city sometime before I die.

Like we talked about briefly 2 weeks ago, I'm glad you're putting these up. I like reading about other peoples travels.

You should read my brother's ongoing blog, http://adevelopingmind.blogspot.com/. He's currently in HK and writing about his adventures there.

Shanghai and Beijing are somewhat similar to NYC and DC in the US. The former being a very trendy urban city with stuff always going on, and the latter being a political center. I think you'd definitely enjoy time in Shanghai.

Ah ha. Now I see why my mom has been back to China four times in the past three years.

I really want to go see China -- I've never seen it myself. The closest I've been, geographically speaking, is Japan.

The other part of it is that China's constantly changing. The government seems to make liberal use of eminent domain type laws to tear down and rebuild.
