China, a land of Contrast
I have been travelling around again, and have been in Hangzhou and Shanghai so far. In Hangzhou, there was a beautiful lake and huge bike trails and where all the scooters are electric, and I came from a place with horrible air and trucks working around the clock. Now, in Shanghai there are toilets with heated seats, which wash and massage your dirty parts, where most of China requires squatting and doesn't have toilet paper. The down side, of course, is the costs here are much higher, and there are McDonalds, Starbucks, Pizza hut, KFC, and every other chain around every other corner. In an effort to be modern, Neon, cars, and excess have replaced culture and history.
I will write more as I have time.
