The good
- Amazing ancient history and culture, when preserved!
- Dim sum, mountain noodles and moon cakes
- Chinese tea and beer
- The Beijing Olympics - the national pride this has created is evident across China. Their Olympic logo is also a little stronger than ours!
- The outdoor dance and Thai Chi classes
- The majong, domino, card and chess games that entertain folks on street corners around the clock
- Natural beauty of the Yangzi River gorges.
- The awesome Yangzi Dam project. Parking the moral and green issues associated with the project, the dam will create hydro-electric power equivalent to that of 14 nuclear power stations.
- The big Chinese tom cat that appears to have sprayed urine over the entire country
- No peace and quiet, why talk when you can shout?
- Lack of vacuum cleaners and carpet stain removal products
- Babies outfits with a hole cut out of the bottom for easy defecation, anywhere, anytime!
- Chinese mops - any visitor to China will know what I mean
- With a population of 1.3 Billion, not surprising that it is difficult to avoid crowds
- Trying to sleep on a long-distance train
- Hoicking and spitting
- Pollution hanging like a yellow blanket over major cities
- Public toilets where ladies go about their business freely with doors wide open!
- Industrial wreckage blotting the landscape
- Queuing, or lack of it. Elbows out and watch out for the 4ft tall grannies
- Angry, Chinese women. Avoid at all costs! More scary than the average Sunbury bird.
