In some ways quite similar to Japan but in others quite different. Looks to be more flash cars in China than in Japan for a start.

See any Chinese deathtrap cars?

otherwise known as population control cars

4: Cops
5: BWM X5 3/4

We had a great time and the people are great.

We also learned one thing.
China is copying everything, so unless we develope new technology we are f...ed. I even saw a SsangYong Rexton-copy...

[Klemmel]

By we I mean Europe, NA and Australia...

About 1/5 of every car we saw was a Audi A6L/A8L or BMW 530+ L/760L. Supposedly they are built in China, thus cheaper than a short one

Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. LOL! Too funny.

[Klemmel]

KFC, McD, WOW, CS, newest mobile phones, cars, etc. They've got it... If it wasn't for the internet-restrictions set by the government, we would "see" a lot more of chineese people...

Great photo tour, they really show the huge contrast in China from rich to poor. Huge skyscrapers that scream financial power sit behind slums and derelict highrises, and the air pollution is horrendously visible in the cities.

How did you find it? I've heard it's harder to breathe at first, and the smog practically stops distant visibility. China has always fascinated me in the way that it's almost two complete opposite worlds within itself.

It was not that car I was thinking of, but I can see how you think so
