I went to Shanghai for Chinese New Year and I have to say it was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Even though I feel like every time I come back from a place my account of it seems rather boring..I thought it was amazing. The pearl tower..the Bundt, two temples which kick ass in seeing a culture. Plus the customs they have remind me terribly of the Catholic church..( when I say this I'm not meaning to insult anyone) I've always thought that all world religions are based on the same basic premises and have much more in common than they think or lead themselves to believe. And going to the temples kinda proved that. I love incense too.
I will post some pics up here later..I'm kinda being lazy at actually uploading them. As always, my friend has FAR better pictures and I'll get those when she's done editing and stuff. I bought gifts. I also bought something that should say double happiness..however..I don't trust people to translate correctly so the lovely Steph Cheung will be checking that for me.
I think I might be a bit happier snce I've been back. Obviously, only time will tell, but China made me realize some things I enjoy about Korea. Like the money system is far better than the Chinese money system..at least for my head that chooses to do as little math as possible.
Also I trust people far better here. I'm not scared people are going to screw me over, take my money. Though I truly enjoyed bargaining people down on prices..that is purely amazing.
By the way, when you think of the color of China, what comes to mind? COMMUNIST RED..
