Notice - no chinese flags anywhere in Copenhagen ..:-( ![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/tangchi_partysectary.jpg)
Partilederen i Tangzhi
Jeg fik en times interview med partilederen i Tangzhi som fortalte om de praktiske forhold i det " cun" som han havde ansvar for . Han er valgt af beboerne i landsbyerne og har haft posten i 15-20 år ![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_1058.jpg)
Familiegravstedet
Vi besøgte som vanligt familiegravstedet i landsbyen og brændte offergaver - her de store pengesedler . Bemærk papirpengene her er forsynet med Kinas første kejser, Qin Shi Huangdi's billede .![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/barnedaab-2.jpg)
Barnedåb i Tangzhi
Vi var en uge i den lille by Tangzhi (3.000 indb) og blev inviteret til barnedåb . En fest som indebar flere middage og ikke så lidt øl drikning ;-)
Maden serveres i plastic tallerkner ligesom borde og stole er plastic ![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_2135.jpg)
Indflyvning til Chongqing
Her 4-5 landsbyer af Kinas mere end fire mio. Landsbyer . Landsbyerne er samlet i administrative enheder af 5-7 landsbyer kaldet et "Cun" - dem er der 6-700.000 af !![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/finish-kuffert-1.jpg)
Fabriksarbejdere i Dongguan
Vi besøgte et par fabrikker i Dongguan, et industriområde melem Guangzhou og Shenzhen. Her blev fremstillet rejsekufferter. kvinden her er ved at færdiggøre kufferten, med limning og lodning af indtræk / net . De fleste af arbejderne er migrant-arbejdere fra andre provinser, som bor på virksomhederne hvor de arbejder.![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/countryside-guangdong-3.jpg)
Rismarkerne i Guangdong - set fra toget
I Dongguang-provinsen er årets 2. udplantning af ris i gang. Markerne er dækket af vand og risen udplantes herefter. Selv i relative flade områder som her, må de enkelte marker nivelleres så overfalden er fuldstændig vandret, og vandet således ikke løber bort.![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_2002.jpg)
Vandreservoir vest for Xi'an
100 km vest for Xi'an ligger bjergkæderne der adskiller Shaanxi-provinsen fra Sichuan-provinsen. Vi kørte op i bjergene og så blandt andet dæmningen her (baggerst i billedet) og det kæmpe vandreservoir som var skabt bag denne. Søen leverer vand til Xi'ans 6-7 mio. indbyggere.![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_1748.jpg)
Et enormt boligbyggeri alle vegne
Rundt om alle Kinas millionbyer, og også de der er mindre, foregår der i disse år et boligbyggeri som er helt enormt. Alle steder skyder nye boligområder op og overalt strækker byggekranerne hals, for at overgå hinanden i opførelsen af den ene skyskraber efter den anden. Men hvem skal bo i alle disse nye boliger, og ikke mindst hvem har pengene ??? ![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/train-to-xian-2.jpg)
Med 300 km i timen
kørte vi fra 'fantombyen' Dawu (se under 'Words..') mod Xi'an , og passerede de imponerende bjergmassiver i den sydvestlige del af Shaanxi-provinsen. Jeg har ikke tidligere kørt så meget med tog i Kina, men har nu stor fornøjelse af at se det hele fra togets panoramavinduer.![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_1773.jpg)
Bygningsarbejdere tager en middagslur
Vi har besøgt et par byggepladser i Xi'an. Her er det på Huawei nye R & D center som er ved at blive bygget. Deter 39 g.celsius - og byggearbejderne holder 2 timers frokost midt på dagen, som også bruges til en lur på en krydsfinerplade eller lign.

A walk in the countryside
Der var ærlig talt ikke mange der forstod hvorfor jeg absolut ville gå de små 2 km ud til landsbyen i 35 g varme - men som sagt så gjort. Vi var et par timer i landsbyen og Qu fik snakket med mange gamle bekendte fra barndommen. På billedet Qu og hendes nevø, De ar![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/manmade-lake-1960.jpg)
Man made lake
Udenfor township' Tangchi ligger søen her, som blev gravet ud som vandreservoir i 1960 under Det Store spring Fremad. Qu's farmor og farfar deltog i gravearbejdet - mange døde samtidigt af sult under hungersnøden.![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/10-aar-gammelt-hus.jpg)
10 years old
this 15 floor building to the right (!) is, according to local old man, only 10 years old !!!! I asked several time if this really was right- and only got it confirmed again and again ... still I find it hard to believe...![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/min-morgenmad-yangze-hotel.jpg)
Morgenmad ...
på 4-stjernede hoteller kan man altid finde et par toastbrød og spejlæg, og det er så det jeg spiser .... men man kan ikke undgå at føle sig temmelig primitiv her, når kineserne samtidigt forlyster sig med en morgenmads buffe som almindeligvis består af mellem 10-20 varme retter/ ingredienser: suppe, nudler, grøntsager, kød, svampe, dumplings o.m.m. - jeg er altså bare ikke til kinesisk mad om morgenen ....når jeg kan undgå det. mine to spejlæg suppleres gerne med en crossaint på en nærliggende cafe![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/wuhan-boliger-fra-1997.jpg)
Boligejendomme fra 1997
ejendommene her er endnu ikke 20 år gamle, men ligner noget der er mindst 50-60 år gammelt. ejendommene planlægges nedrevet og beboerne kan herefter købe nye (dyre) lejligheder - hvilket de ikke er begejstrede for. Manglen på almindelig vedligeholdelse af boligejendomme er ubegribelig set med danske øjne!![Pictures and words from China](upload/img/selected-pictures/800-width/IMG_0219.jpg)
