i am glad you say so.

travelling with an open mind is essential;otherwise you cannot fully enjoy it.

I know there might be many events making one annoyed, but people may not mean it or it is totally acceptable in our culture.

I dont mean to say that i hope all those comments on China should be positive, i hope it is fair and objective.

u kno it is the CHinese New Year. Everyone should stay at home. That's why they put off their travelling plan aside.

there are many other new posts but just i am not familiar with other places so i could not add a word or two.

many people believe there is some tie between tibetans and indians in south america.

it is so strange they look so alike and some of their buildings are similar.

Cultural shocks, I forgot.

Yes, the mass of people, most places beeing very crowded is something you have to get used to first. But most people are so nice and helpful with foreigners. Actually I think much more than in the west.

Whereas the food is so rich in variety, I never get enough of Chinese food. It? also very famous abroad, but they change it a little bit for western tongues.
The real one is much better!!!

Why do you say Canton instead of Guangzhou? Only Lowais use the word Canton, I thought.

Well, the tie between Tibetians and Indians in South America (peru and so on...) is because of the high altitude sun, which darkens or better burns the skin very much. It makes you look much older. So there enviroment is quite similiar.

But Tibetian Culture is dominated by India. Mt. Kailash is a holy mountain for both of them, and the most important rivers start in Tibet.

i beg to disagree.
There is also a moutian covered with snow in Africa (i dont kno the name in English) but Tibetans do not look like Africans.

I would believe that the Mongolians or Chinese went to America through Berlin Strait.

Have you read the book about in 1421 Zheng He found America?

I think Tibetans are beautiful! Younger or older doesnt matter. They are beautiful because they are healthy without make-ups!!!

You mean the terra cotta army close to Xian?
Yes, that was the main reason for me to go to Xian. But the terra cotta army is only a little part of the whole emperors tomb. There must be so much more they haven? opened yet.


Hey, you are not Chinese!? You once pretended to be Christian, which is less than 1 percent of Chinas population. And now you use Canton instead of Guangzhou - strange!
So, where did you say you are from?
