This guy doesn't know anything about China. He gives out fake names of places. And doesn't include The Great Wall Of China, one of the seven wonders of the world. Nobody would want to visit the African street in Guangzhou because there is technically nothing to do there. "Half Hawaiian"? Hawaii is the other side of China, get your facts straight.
ReplyDeleteCheap food? First of all the Restaurants in China are far more fancier than what you see in the US. Only because Americans like food fast, the system is kind of like that, genius. Plus the Shanghai Expo is very interesting than things in which you describe on looking like somewhere that isn't China. "Obsessed with cars", that is only because China is changing industrially, and fast. A building that takes 10 years here could only take a few months in China. So I think you should fix up that terrible writing from being biased toward one side. Be optimistic, not pessimistic on such a wonder like China
