I am interested in what you will come to think of about China expecially after Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.I have ever heard that a forgeiner may have an idea that all the Chinese know Kongfu.It is a little interesting cause they may mislead by Chinese Kongfu movies,the fact is not as they think.And you will think about the Great Wall and Chinese food when people talk about China.And some people may hold an idea that Chinese are not kind of elegant people,because a part of Chinese travellers in other countries make contributions to sopil Chinese image... So what you think of China,Chinese,Chinese culture,Chinese food,Chinese people..?

Yeah, maybe I get what you talk about,the beautiful dresses with fresh color,named kimono,a kind of traditional clothes in Japan,but that comes from an ancient chinese dresses in Tang Dynasty when Japan and China were in good relations.They make some changes and let it more beautiful.

Well the moment China is mention, the thing that comes to my mind is The Forbidden City. I am very fascinated by the story and the stuff that revolves around The Forbidden City in Beijing. I have yet to visit the place let alone go to China. Hope that one day I will get to go there.
