@Spyder — I should have bought some but I really can’t make anything…

@Gledwood — NOOOO! This is now stuck in my head forever. Damn.

@Linguist-in-Waiting — I liked the contrast between the Mao’s memorabilia and the traditional things.

@Shantanu — This is very true. Especially in Beijing, which was the center of so many historical changes and events…

@shionge — Unfortunately, I have inherited a very Italian body, with breasts and a butt, so there is no way I can ever fit in a Qipao. Ever. And trust me, I tried. I leave that to thin Asian women… can’t have everything!

@Scarlet — Thank you!

Hiya Zhu, your photography skill is so much better than mine and you captured Beijing beautifully.

By the way, did you buy the fabric? How about cheong sam? Did you tailor-made one?

Oh, I want to know how long have you stayed in Beijing before?

There is so much history in countries such as India and China. While we tend to see them as New (meaning today) and Old (everything older than a generation), I guess there are many slices of history that are distinct and tell us of many years of change.
