no worries redbean. i use ACDSee to resize my photos [and the retouch 'em a lil bit] sure, i don't mind the food photos, but just one question about the food, its stinky tofu. do you love the smell/taste or does it make you chuck? for a westerner like me, smelling stinky tofu in Beijing made me really ill, and i blamed it on something else, till somone said it was food. so please, dont take offence if it sounds like i just said something out of turn.

turtle island would look better when the sun is out and the sky clear. i supose you could really see the hump of the shell.

somewhere in amongst my 20,000 photos, i have a picture of an island i nicknamed Buddah island. but i can't remember if it was taken in Taiwan or Philippines.

Well, the stinky tofus are.... hmm..... real stinky. Tried it but I don't like the taste but I like the sour cabbage that comes with it.

where about was the photo taken Redbean? any more photos from malaysia/boreno?

i tended to stay away from all manners of milky tea when i was away and only drunk chinese tea or bottled tea as i dislike UHT. i find it quite gashtly and i prefer normal milk straight from the udder

wujou_mao, that photo was taken in Kuala Lumpur. Boreno? Did you mean Brunei?

I like tea (with or without milk) more than coffee. Have you tried Vietnamese coffee? It's pretty strong.

My photos of China were taken end of november 05 to end of jan 06

travelled over from vietnam to Nanning and found this in the shower which really cracked me up.

i didnt see anymore Chinglish till later on.
next we went to Guilin. great nightlife there. but rather cold compared to Vietnam which was only 2 days ago. so i bet this water was propper freezing

i also had a T-shirt printed as i missed my japanese 'Baka Gaijin' one which got slightly ruined in Thailand. think this was at the top of fairy temple, but don't know where

Went to Longsheng to see the dragon's backbone rice terraces, but due to the fog and mist we stayed in the valley for 3 days and saw nowt. cold showers didnt last long i can tell you. you'l hardly gonna smell of BO when its this cold. the day we left, we saw just how stunning this looks in the summer

compared to this which was yesterday at 10am

went and visited the town where the women have the longest hair in the world. i hear its in the guinnes book of records.

this is the wind and rain bridge in Chengyang. built in 1912, its 78m long, took 12 yers to build & is built without the use of nails!

next we went to Chongqing and i saw this equally laughable sign inside Chongqing Train Station shop

this was outside Chendu Zoo

after seeing the panda's we went to Xi'an to see the superb Terracotta Army

it was proper freezing in here and we wasnt allowed to use flash, so everything had to be high ISO and low shutter speed. something the female guide refuse to understand and kept us moving along
place is huge and under the fossiled beams and soil are yet more statues, but as soon as the roof is opened, so the air will destroy the colourful paint job on the statues. best keep in hidden till they can find a way to keep them intact

Next we travelled to Pingyao. a living musuem if you will. straight out of a period drama. Pingyao's wall is 6km's long and said to be the last remaining one in China

out of our bedroom window

outside the gate, new Pingyao to the left

climbed to the top and found this fantastic chinglish sign. me and shane were pissing ourselves for hours. tossing is slang for

Hidden:

although in Chinese it says no crossing, why was this on the top of the wall, and why say tossing instead of crossing? Goggle eyes

would you believe this was -20!? doesnt look cold but it really was

deserted courtyard

more chinglish.

mind your head, take care of the shaft

collecting 'night soil'

bought this, which i have YET to still arrange them in order and frame it

next it was the long journey to Beijing and arrange for a new visa on boxing day at the cop shop
forbidden palace

no picking flowers? what bloody flowers??

went and saw the 'old great all' with this lovely old man. language problems besides, it was a pukka time out here on our todd

then we saw the 'new great all. all restored

fair enough

some temple on a roundabout in Beijing

muslim quarter

i don't know where this is

or this one, and the temple isnt on the piss, its the person holding the camera

never did like chinese food

this was ontop on Shanghai Post Office

left Shanghai for Yandang shan

some other pictures which i don't know the locations of. but as we didn't like the cold we just kept on heading south and decided our next stop would be philippines

wujou_mao, what can I say? Thank you for these amazing photos.

Someday, I'd like to visit Xi'an just to see the terracotta warriors.

I really enjoyed looking at the photographs you took. I'm inspired to take a trip in some of those Asian countries you featured.

I'm curious, though. It seems you ate like a native while staying in those countries. I know a couple of people who ate street food in Taiwan, and now they have colitis. Did you get sick at all from eating local food?
