L'homme en jaune coure-t-il derrie le triporteur ?...il semble re en retard, moins qu'il fasse la course avec le triporteur qui lui est certain de gagner!!cool...on doit aller vite me en chine !Bravo!

Also not the best part of town. However I do have a question for you. I was under the impression not all of China is open to foreigners and one is required permits to travel to certain areas and have a government guide with them. You on the other hand seem to have free access? I also understand there is two types of currency in China, one for the Chinese and the other for tourists.

@Egmont: You are quite right, there are area closed to foreigners but these are much fewer than they were. I wanted to travel from Dalien to Lhun (ex-Port Arthur where the Japanese defeated Tsarist Russia in 1905) and was told that as a military zone that I wouldnt be allowed to go there. I have also heard that there are other areas where foreigners are not welcome: military areas (but these are controlled everywhere, also in Switzerland and in the US) and politically sensitive areas including parts of Tibet and places where there are strikes/political protests etc I first visited the Peoples Republic in 1987 in a group led around by an officially sanctioned guide. At the time, there were in effect 2 currencies (as there had been in the USSR) but these were becoming less and less important (we were able to use normal RMBs) and were finally abolished in the mid 1990s if my memory seves.

Bonjour tristesse! Vous reprendrez bien un petit LEXO? Ah , non j'en ai drepris 2 fois apr ce serait de la gourmandise!!

Tr belle photographie qui montre bien la rlitpas toujours facile comprendre dans nos pays hautement industrialis je te souhaite une agrble soir

Never had guessed this was the capitol of any province... yep, seems it's not a rich city. BTW excellent focus on the biker, bravo!

Je trouve beaucoup de similitudes entre certaines de tes photos en Chine et ce que j'ai vu en Thailande recemment. C'est vrai que c'est sombre, mais bon sous la pluie... les ruelles n'ant pas au top, cela donne toujours cet aspect un peu triste. Par contre ce que j'aime c'est que lencore n'a pas l'air d'un endroit tr touristique, et puis le regard du cycliste.... on l'impression que tu le danges franchement ;o))))

interesting to see this area also! impressive scene on a rainy day! such places are everywhere and they belong to all towns! ;o)
