Would love to go to the countryside and just take lots of photos of the environment and its people. I love the way the old men in China dress, you know those white loose tops and some kind of special chinos. If I was a fashion designer they would be my BIG inspiration. Sometimes I think it's sad that China seems to want to change everything and make the old traditional things go away, it's a pity, because some of Chinas strongest attributes is just those natural things, the old men in their pyjama, the middleaged women with perms going to the market to buy fresh fishes in their old slippers. I think it's extremely charming. not really, i think it’s beautiful. Would love to go to the countryside and just take lots of photos of the environment and its people.
