My Travel Writing Scholarship 2011 entry - Journey in an Unknown Culture

CHINA | Thursday, 17 March 2011 | Views [173] | Scholarship Entry

Beijing. I lost the sky for a moment, instead there was a large screen showing a coral reef meanwhile the rain still passes through a great blue whale. While travelling in the tube, felt completely inmersed in a different world and as I climb upstairs again to surface, the crowded street flanking intense red and glowing golden paint buildings as time has never passed by, gave me the welcome but at night the eyes change direction to fluorescent lighted buildings edges and colorful streets. This is China, a mix of ancient and super modern stuff, Nothing is little nor subtle there but surely unsual, avoid blinking, you certainly don't want to miss a thing of it!
