China

Recently I went to China: Hangzhou - HuangShan - Nanjing - Shanghai. Yes, all thanks to AirAsia's low fares. It was my first time to the country and here are some of the things I found pretty interesting.


All the rubbish bins in China has two compartments; one for recyclable items and the other non-recyclable, which I think is pretty cool. We in Malaysia should have it too.


This is the most fascinating. The bottom part of the pant is purposely split to allow for nature call convenience? I was actually eyeing those kids in split pants so I can take the front shot, haha... however the best I got was the one above covered in diapers (it would be pretty embarrassing to be caught taking pic of their's son private part!). Still I don't understand, front and back being exposed, not cold meh?


They call it the Wawa fish. Because they make crying sounds waa.. waa.. waa..


Kiwifruit actually originated from China, long before it was commercialized to New Zealand.


99 ways to write the word "love" since ancient China. The word we use today is the top left corner.


Fire hydrant in the middle of the forest ??


Not sure why he was washing his hair by the road side.


Roasting sweet potatos the old-fashioned way.


Their amazing skills at hanging the clothes on the rod in the middle of the air.


This is classic. A single red underwear hanging by the window. Chinese superstitious taboo believes that men should never walk under a woman's undergarment for it brings bad luck. I wonder how many men had walked passed it. Let's hope it's not dripping wet ;p Choi!
