Anyone remember ‘Fancy Taiwan’?

Theme: Chinese culture? Do you mean spitting in the street and ripping off ‘foreigners’? Closing Tibet off to ‘foreigners’, recently? Or the Chinese boats harrassing US ships in waters they had every right to be in?

I took a couple of nice pics but they were in the mountains. China, the parts with people, was just dirty and crap. All the ‘cultural’ stuff such as temples were dead and empty and you had to pay a special foreigner price to get in. The temples were all ‘restored’ using the same paint and artwork. China is really really boring and absolutely incomparable to Taiwan.

I got a few nice shots of mountains in China, too. But then some guy came and yelled at me, telling me I couldn’t take pictures there because those were “secret geological formations.”

I’m not making that up.

Hehe! ‘We have secret special rocks in China.’

I’m thinking of submitting this shot. What do you think?

6

The door’s closed.

7

Some of us travel or live in China, but most of us don’t. This is a Taiwan-based website…

8

can we post photos of street riots, pollution, dog-clubbing, slave labour, organ transplant hospitals, and police brutality? cool!

9

But they don’t exist, silly.

I guess “human landscapes” means photographing (Chinese) female nudes as if they were landscapes? Two mountains (or hills), the cave, the bush and other arty stuff like that. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Might want to start by dropping the whole us vs them “Foreigner” vs “Chinese” mentality. Why not call people tourists? Is it really that hard? Anyways, I’ve already had a blood transfusion and joined the magical Han ethnicity, so you can call me comrade now.

Oh…I guess ethnic Chinese can’t be tourists in China. :cactus:

Re: China in Your Eyes?

Dear Chuck,

It’s nice of you to invite us to share our experiences, or “photos,” as you call them.

Of course, you mean all the grit and stuff blowing in the wind? 'cos I get China in my eyes that way all the time, too, don’t worry.

You’ll get used to it, or you get a car.

Yours,

Bob.

ooh, you bring up an interesting point. what if this post was made with the intention of inferring taiwan is part of china, and that the “living and traveling in china” part was actually referring to living/traveling in taiwan?? someone try submitting pictures of taiwan and see what happens.
