Girls clapping to get you in a shop...
Sky bridges
White tile buildings

Before liberation the Chinese people lived in the abyss of poverty, ignorance and backwardness. Under the leadership of the Communist Party they are marching forward along the road of socialism. {Quote from IELTS Preparation Book.}

the sky bridges are the best.
well that or the street food. dumplings or meat skewers cooking along the side of the road.
LeLaz - I stayed for one year and then worked there (out of Hong Kong) for 6 more. Didn't hate it. In fact I miss it.

Yeah, ridiculous overemployment, fancy-looking architecture that will be razed in 4 years, minority people getting paid pennies/day to sweep leaves and cigarette butts from the sidewalks, rare reeking public toilets which actually charge you for entry, music so loud it makes your ears bleed.....
What's not to love?

I love it too, sometimes. Tobacco sellers, old men gambling, schoolgirls in ridiculous outfits, funny English T-shirts, Chinese men with bad hair and cigarettes hanging out of their mouths like they're the next James Dean, great street food, markets...
...but the pollution, the kids crapping in the street, the garbage, the marinating chicken feet...umm...

actually the kerfuffle is kinda funny when there's a wacky accident like two motorbikes collide at 2 mph and one of them has a bent mirror but they stick to the 'crime scene' in the middle of the road waiting for the police...
less funny if you drive and can't get to places because of these freaks...

Wow....Chinese people who wait for the police - I see accidents where they both just drive away, damages and all. What's fun are those guys from the village working in the towns who apparently are seeing automobiles for the first time ever and thus don't understand yet why they can't stand in the middle of the road watching it all go by. Once a dude passed out from opium overdose was in the middle of the road, too, complete with a whole group of onlookers who were doing nothing to help him...
