China Trip 2010

I went to China in order to visit my sister who studied chinese language in Xiamen University. It was  summer and honestly, it's freakin hot there. Surprisingly, Xiamen is voted as the cleanest city in China - well it is considered as a good record for China's hygiene grading. Within 3 weeks, I visited 3 cities - Xiamen, Shanghai (Cosmopolitan city), and Hang Zhou ( famous for its white snake legend). It was a really good experience, but always remember.. when you are in China always bring tissue for the toilet use (trust me, you don't wanna know the detail), don't go when it's summer, always bargain at least 50% of its price eps. when you are in Shanghai. Well the rest of the journey.. Just Enjoy..

What I noticed when I was in China:

Gulangyu Island, Xiamen is known as a car free island and indeed it is true. I saw some old people carried different materials using traditional cart.

Instead of using pampers, local chinese used to put cloth diaper with a ventilation around vital area.

The Joy of less

In these modern societies, people live in the realm of materialism and consumerism. We always think the more you get, the better you are, but actually it seems that the more money you spend, the less important it seems. Are we neglecting the value of life and losing our selves in this materialism world? The joy of less gives the reflection about today’s generation in the consumerism world. It challenges and encourages the viewer to implement the culture of less by showing the reverse psychology between less and more.
