Not sure what a royal Emperor is thinking on this.


I spent a few years in China, so a couple of notes on what others have said.

Catholic Mass- available is almost every major city in both English and Mandarin/Cantonese

One Baby Rule- If you are in the country side and have no money to pay off an official this MIGHT apply to you. For everyone else this law is largely ignored. Most of the girls I knew that were of a lower middle class (in China standards) had 2 kids.

Money- You will see more Range Rovers, Lambos, Bentleys, etc. in one week in a major city in China than you will see in a year in a major city in the US. China is still an improvised nation. There is a great disparity in wealth, but there are lots of folks with lots of money. The local Chinese people are now heading to Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan in droves to shop and spend money.

Internet- Varies from hotel to hotel, city to city, and factory to factory. Some areas are no blocked websites, but sadly the majority do. Strangely enough this forum is NOT blocked.

Guns- never seen one there, not even on a policeman.

Food- different. I personally like it, but this is really more of a personal taste issue

Beliefs- the people here are crazy about lucky numbers, dates, which way a desk faces, running water, how one sits a purse down, etc. etc.
