Hello to all! Maybe some of you have noticed that I'm back to 'rosity. Well I'm back alive and safe, I had great times in China, the land of contrasts... Crowded, smelly, polluted, noisy streets where a little Vasquez can get lost. or Harmony, serenity, relax, joy, friendship, in parks or small streets, where the time has stopped and where you can appreciate the kindness of Chinese people.

I was wandering in Beijing and Xi'An with this 2 kind of sensations, trying to undestand how this culture can produce the opposite of human being at the same time.

Well I haven't figured out, but I've returned home more tired and more happy (and wit ha bag full of presents) so I can say It was a fabulous holyday!! ... and now some pics for you (total count is 460, but I don't wont to bore you).

First one, summer palace of the emperor NW of Beijing

They eat scorpions? Did you? What do they taste like? And what are those things in the tray to the upper left? Roach-kabobs? (Well they DO look like jumbo cockroaches, don'tcha know!) Oh, and beautiful shots! I'm with Zhann on this one: more, more, MORE!

vasquez ( ) posted Tue, 07 September 2004 at 3:14 AM

Yes they eat scorpions, I didn't (they were still moving... but I saw people doing it, on the upper left right there are some unkown bugs...

Erlik ( ) posted Tue, 07 September 2004 at 5:41 AM

I think that the unknown bugs are either cicadas or hissing cockroaches. :-) Welcome back.

Holy Moley! Scorpions?!?!? How sensible - instead of being a nuisance, they're a handy source of protein, freely available! pukes nonetheless Great pictures :o)

Ye dogs a meal with a sting in the tail...how novel. I'm with Pogmahone on here. Wonderful Pictures. I am also with the "more Pics" group.

Yum... I prescribe to the view that my revulsion to thoughts of something as food is in inverse proportion to my nearness to starvation. (In other words, if I'm starving, I could eat almost anything to survive, especially if I know that a culture already commonly uses it as a food source.)

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

Lol... Do they have camel meat? I refuse to visit China unless they serve camel meat! I can't imagine scorpions being too tasty... Welcome back, Vasquez!

I forgot to say, "Great pictures, Vasquez!" Hey, does KFC in China stand for "Kung Fu Chicken"? :^)
