Just came back from China (pics a lot)

[waggy]

very cool. i would love to go there on vacation

I'm surprised by the size of the cars. Was expect more compact ones like Europe but I guess since the cities are newer, the roads are much wider.

Let me know when you leave. I might go back next year too.

The city was better 10 years ago. There are too many cars and sidewalks are occupied which is definitely impossible in USA. Traffic regulations are not as strict as here. No one yields to pedestrians.

Nice pics. Great stems on the chick in #17

That's a lot of pictures of that one policewomen... Wonder if that would be allowed here before being tazed...

 

[Dari]

Surprise they have Lawson there.

It's almost like looking at a portrait of America, except the peasants and middle class don't have the power to kick around the job creators.

Also, what is up with the women? Trusting them with a sword won't end well. What happens when they reach their time of the month and start going Musashi on your ass? Give them a foam baton or something.

Damn, someone needs to lay off the right-wing talk radio a bit... D:

Also, metalmania.. people who wear Che Guevara shirts are mostly ignorant know-nothings.. They almost make it as easy to spot douchebags as looking for "tapout" shirts or stickers.. but I've heard that Mao is still treated like a god by many in China though, but only because they get a heavily revisionist view of history compared to the more pluralistic views of history we allow for.

Well in the bar they have Budweiser.

Budweiser is a Belgium Company, not U.S.

The formerly U.S. Company sold out to Belgium Company InBev for $52 Billion on July 14th 2008

I really don't know that. Always drink Coors light.

Light beer is such a scam, I picked up a bottle of light beer and regular beer, they both weighed the same.

Wow always cool to see pics of places so far away.

It seems way more civilized than I ever imagined China. If it was not for the Chinese writing it would be easy to mistake for a big western city.

It's also interesting that lot of the writing has English translations as well. You don't see Chinese translations here unless it's a "china town". Guess it's kinda like how here there is always a French translation, guessing English there is probably popular enough to warent it. Probably a second language I'm guessing.

That horse bus is pretty cool too. Any crook would shit themselves to be chased by that then see a bunch of horses deploy out of it. lol

 

[KlokWyze]

Cool pics. At first I thought it was going to only be of the policewoman... lol

 

[DigDog]

what we imagine china to be like

WTF NYC ?

 

[Markbnj]

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing them. It seems like a very trim and orderly place, but it also seems strangely empty compared to what you would expect to see at mid-day in an American city at a similar level of urban development. Do most people stay inside or something?

I mean you have to pretty naive to think this, yet this thread appears to re-iterate these beliefs. Countries with economies as large as China's are going to have relatively modern metropolitan areas at a minimum. I'm sure there are a shit ton of rural shit holes just like there are in the US though.

Indeed it was a weekday around 3pm to 4pm. During weekends there are much more people hanging around.

 

[FearoftheNight]

Wow thanks for posting this. Haven't been there in a few years. As for the development the cities are nice. If you want to see some bad places to live watch the night line special on the village homes of the Foxconn workers. I think the word squalor comes to mind.
