Some of my favorite Chinese horror films: A Chinese Ghost Story aka Sien nui yau wan (1987) Spooky Encounters aka Gui da gui (1980) Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky aka Lik Wong (1991) Mr. Vampire aka Geung si sin sang (1985) The Eye aka Gin gwai (2002) Dream Home aka Wai dor lei ah yut ho (2010) Bio-Zombie aka Sun faa sau si (1998) Human Lanterns aka Ren pi deng long (1982) The Haunted Copshop aka Meng gui chai guan (1987) Mo (1983) LOL...... Torgo! Surprised you watch so many of these Chinese horror films. The Eye was my favorite. But Mr Vampire ...... gosh, I wonder if they really existed and whether they actually move around like that with the arms outstretched and hopping like a rabbit....Hahaha!

Wow wow........ I didn't know about this! Interesting, especially the ones on the China’s Pyramids! China's PyramidsIt’s not just Egypt that has pyramids. China has around forty of these giant mausoleums located about 16 miles northwest of Xi’an, on the Qin Chuan Plains in Shaanxi Province. These giant structures were built to house the remains of China’s early emperors and their relatives. Mysteriously, the Chinese government denies the existence of these pyramids and has even planted trees around them to disguise them. In total, there are around 300 pyramids in the Xi’an region. You can get to the pyramids from Xi’an, which has its own airport. This just goes to show how big and large China is. A friend of mine has been there numerous times, and says he has only covered a small section of China and there are so many many more provinces he has never been to. |

So, MMoe.....have you ever been to China? I have been to a few provinces there and if I can afford to, hope to go again. But I also have my thoughts on Australia, New Zealand and the US. Tough choice! |

So, there we were in Australia touring, and we bought souvenirs for friends and relatives! I bought some small koalas and gave it out. Someone remarked.... you went to China or Australia? Why does this say 'Made in China'?????

lol... aren't all cab drivers a little nuts... lol... the cab drivers you were referring to...they must've been Cantonese...  ... a loud and colorful bunch they are..!  you should see them in action as waiters....lol! yes, some cab drivers are rude and not all of them are honest. Mostly in the cities. But I have run into that in many places outside of Asia.. include NYC..(my own back yard). I think that is pretty much a universal thing. And at times shop owners will get a little upset if you don't buy something if you go into their store.. sometimes. but I think that is because the competition in China for merchants is fierce. I have walked out of many stores without buying anything and I have received a smile as I walked out. But I am sure their are nasty ones as well. Not everyone is nice I always try to take one of my Chinese friends with me when Shopping for stuff in China.. and let them do the haggling.. they love it.. its like a sport to them. And they are great at it. I just stand there and watch the show. |

And they are great at it. I just stand there and watch the show. Smartest move ever on the shopping trips...... another tip for you, DD, when you bring your chinese friend along, and you see something you like, don't ask your friend to ask for the price there and then! Move away, and then ask your friend to go back and ask for the price, and then, later, you go and ask for the price again. You'll be surprised by the disparity! Then, start the haggling....... I once saw a white guy haggling, and I think he was having so much fun! Learn to do it, and soon you will not need a local to do that for you....hehehe!! But first you've got to learn Chinese!! |
