orientalimage says:

good action photo in such bad light and conditions - you are professional Jing .....but it's a pretty useless way to keep dry on a bike...maybe just his/her mp3 player protected.....what's Monan hoho ing about anyhow.....and raining cats and dogs is a British saying and mice and birds don't come into it....

jijis says:

Monan
hahaha...yuo'd better stay inside....if a fat cat hit your cute haircut...what a terrible thing!!!!

keith

orientalimage says:

haha....glad you like British culture and accent (+quality kissing)....looks like you need visit here next holiday....
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

jijis says:

keith
yes...sincerelly like it....
Sometimes I feel British culture is bit traditional, bit implicative....somehow similar to Chinese for me.....
and i collected lots of British accent movies....:DDD

i will go there someday for sure...:DD

orientalimage says:

I'm impressed.....better come quickly before it disappear....but the street life is much more boring...
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

jijis says:

keith
hahahaha.....
well, i dont think it will disappear before i go there.....
and less people is thre reason for the boring street life i think...
people create the life.

orientalimage says:

no joke, as our traditional culture disappearing....not many English gentlemen around...red phone boxes going.....even the weather changing....
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

jijis says:

keith
actually here its the same....the real specail culture is being gone with the changing ot life style....
people demolished the old things too quickly....when they feel the new style is too duplicate....already late!!!

Last time we went to the old part of shanghai city...its changed a lot...and very pity, many parts are still in demolishing...the old town i knew 3 years ago was totally different from now.

Maybe this is how the history appeared....if the old isnt gone, the new wont appear.....well, philosophic !!!

orientalimage says:

yes, as you said in your Xiang yang market picture....your are good philosopher, it's history occurring before our eyes...at least Cambridge stays much the same for hundreds of years...
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

Monan @ Beijing says:

@ keith no I didn't "hohoho"... and the rain was so heavy it even rained frogs....~~~

Acutally I did pass a demolishing locale everyday on my way home, I saw how those young buildings were broken down to death.... and one day they diasppeared, I felt very lost... In China we are not only demolishing old buildings but some new ones, it's a big waste of money and material... China is changing fast. but sometimes I doubt if the speed is too fast... We need some considerate plan for development.

orientalimage says:

yes, you 'hohoed' on Jing's picture and I don't understand why ....and just avoid kissing the frogs, that's all -:)
With all that demolishing happening so quickly then when some overseas Chinese students return back there for holiday they will get lost....

Monan @ Beijing says:

oh i see, I "hoho"ed in the note... hoho is the sound of laugh from the one who's having a bad hair day... luckily the day will ends in 40 minutes ^^ It's a "citizen gallery"where I added the note, I said we have such kind of 'gallery" in Nanjing too... maybe everywhere in China, and will die soon....

Your doubt must be right, my friend sibo always finds herself lost when she come back from the US, from a place with little people to a super busy street in Nanjing....

orientalimage says:

thx, pity those galleries are gonna close...hope tomorrow is a better hair day...at least it'll be a bit longer again -:)

Nice! Taking pics is all about location, timing and angle. And some minor details like lighting, technique and so on ... hehe

Rain or shine, Chinese loooove umbrellas ...
