Chinese Reflections

I liked china. it was nice and good and fun and cool and stuff.

In all seriousness though i did actually really enjoy china. i was pleasantly suprised at how friendly the people were, how attractive the women were and how cool the place were. it is actually a properly soem would still say developing but in my eyes its actually quite far on its way and i hope they dont fuck up the olympics for the peoples sake, especially as they are looking forward to it so much.

There are things in china that creep me out a bit though, like the constant staring and its not because i'm big or dark skinned but simply because i'm not chinese.

the other, and probably worse, thing is hoe communist it still feels, yes fair enough i know it still is officially communist but tehy are trying to promote tehmselves as an economic superpower. the thing that makes it seem commi is that everything is still peoples this and peoples that but most of all it is the police state feel to it. It is the 21st fucking century and there still isnt free press. In china they have a channel called cctv 9 which is teh english channel of teh china tv network cctv(quite fitting) when you watch this you get to see what the shit the chinese people are having shoved at them, whats worse is that they believe it.
