[quote=GAFFER,327520]Hi Dave we share a similar passion, I once worked as a photographer but other business pressures (more lucrative) forced me to abandon it. Only recently, and owing to my visits to China (and the purchase of a new digital SLR kit) have I rekindled the interest.

Many of us on here have a particular interest in China (usually of the feminine gender). Obviously this is a great advantage in learning about the place. When I'm there I live "locally" which is the best way to integrate into the culture. It becomes necessary to learn some of the language...and this is appreciated. You eat the food provided or ordered for you (better not to ask too many questions about the contents) My philosophy is that if it smells ok I eat it. Some things to get used to are lavatories, spitting, loud cell phone calls, noisy eating and people rushing to get on or into a bus/lift before others get off/out. I can think of worse things to live with in Europe. However, I would not like to go far without my trusty translator,she's a gem. Generally I find all the people I meet are warm, frendly and welcomimg....although curiosity probably enters the equation.[/quote]
