Super sorry it’s been
over a month and a half since my last post guys!
Anyway, since
arriving (nearly 9 months ago now – Jeeeeez!) I’ve been collecting photos of
what I call the ‘real’ China. You’ve seen the many skyscrapers and temples and
food pics I’ve posted already, and although all of that is the norm, there are
a few things that I can’t really tell you about, I had to take obnoxious
tourist photos of instead!
 |
| One day whilst taking a stroll near my flat, I came across this little river and walked along it. These houses were ridiculously dilapidated on the outside. |
 |
| Also here! Note the plastic sheet covering the roof. Madness. |
 |
| Casual snooze on one's scooter. You see this a surprising amount. |
 |
| China's answer to barbed wire... broken glass! Of course! The best ones are the broken beer bottles you see. |
 |
| Gambling on street corners. Another thing you see a fair bit. Gambling is actually illegal in China, but ya know, whatever. |
 |
| Dogs! Strays? Owned? Dunno |
 |
| Plant stall on a guy's bike. You get the strangest things sold off of bikes. |
 |
| Fuzhou from my friend's building |
 |
| Personal fave: street food. This is just a small sampling of what I eat on a regular drunken basis but it's usually kebab type things that are cooked on a make-shift barbecue. So maybe it wouldn't pass health standards in England, but it's damn good food. |
Things I was unable
to capture: crazy crowded buses, the non-existent road rules and rush hour,
women selling small animals/birds from portable stalls (now THAT is one I will
definitely try to get later), flimsy-looking scooters carrying whole families
(I’m talking father, mother, child and baby – all without helmets of course!)
and much, much more. Oh China.
This post is in no
way meant to be condescending or cause any offence by the way! I just wanted to
show people who have never experienced China, or a completely different country
to their own, how unorthodox things could be!
All for now
xoxo
