Well, I guess I should say my favorite thing about China is my wife who I met when I was living there back in '96-'97. Besides her I'd have to say the culture, its just so dramatically different than anything in the West. There is also some incredible scenery, especially once you get out of the cities and head out to the west. Everything from beaches to jungles to deserts to the Himilayas. Definitely worth checking out if you have the chance.
man i used to be obsessed with china when i was younger, heavily into martial arts and all thier traditions, its just a real beautiful place! kinda mysterious! i like i like! :dance: :thumbsup:
Here's a few pics from out here in California. None of these places are more than a 6 hour drive from my house. The picture with the lichen covered rock in the bottom left hand corner is about 5 minutes from here. You'd never know that I live in a "city" with close to a million people. :D
Hey fengzi im saving up to go and live in China for a year, not near a city though. Eight hours by train outside beijing, the shaolin temple their is taking westerners. I plan to live and train with the shaolin monks for a year have to save quite a bit up though.
Hey Tony, my uncle done that and said it was amazing, he is saving up to go back next year.Quote:

Wow, it sounds like a great opportunity. Do you speak any Chinese? Not too many people speak English there, especially outside of the bigger cities. If not, I'm sure you'll learn while your there. There's nothing like total immersion to force you to learn. I studied Chinese for two years in college here in the U.S. but learned more in my first two months in China.Quote:

I do go back to China for a few weeks each year to visit my wifes family and do some travelling but it's not quite the same. Have fun.
Oh yeah, a little money can go a long way in China so you don't need to worry about saving too much. Just be prepared to bargain your ass off for anything you buy. Most places won't have prices on things so you have to ask and the price they tell you will be twice what they'd tell a native. And that is about twice what they actually expect to get. Some people get frustrated but I always see it as a game. You win some-you lose some. Have fun with it.
OMG Tokosan, is that you?
From Fengzi's picture, lol:D
