More Sights

-
The past few days have been a blur of activity and experiences. It is incredible how much learning a new culture drains and excites at the same time. We have ridden multiple city buses , taken several cab rides, eaten out countless times (food is cheap and we just got pots, pans, and dishes -- sort of important before you cook) and walked...and walked...and walked. It is so different living in a big city with inexpensive public transportation...and no transportation of your own.

But since my head is still reeling from all the events of trying to achieve some form of normalcy in life, I will just take some time to share some more photos of the sights of Xiamen. The first few photos were taken from us bus while we were on our way to a medical examination which is required of all foreigners who are establishing some form of residency.










Guess what has made it over to China? There is a Walmart as well which we visited already to pick up many necessities.

This next set of photos was taken at and near a local mall. It certainly is beautiful at night.

Urban Decay

My last post was about a trip we took to a ghost mall in hopes of finding urban decay and wound up finding a partially operational mall. And though we didn't find the urban decay that others had posted about online, it still was an interesting place to explore. This post is about a trip we took in hopes of finding an interesting place and wound up finding urban decay. This last weekend, Sandy and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary by spending the weekend in Guangzhou, just for some time away to enjoy being together. On Saturday, we decided to explore a little and went to an art factory called Redtory that TripAdvisor had listed as an interesting place to visit. Had I read the reviews a little more closely, we wouldn't have gone because some of the reviews discussed how the shops were mostly closed down in October of 2019. (This actually brings up an interesting issue many travel sites are having: with the pandemic greatly limiting travel over the past few years, most cu

A Visit to an Abandoned Mall (South China Mall)

A few weeks ago, someone told me that the largest abandoned mall in the world was located in Dongguan, Guangdong, about a 2 hour drive from us. Well, that really interested me because I am familiar with two abandoned malls in Xiamen, and they were very interesting to explore -- and honestly a little creepy. It is no wonder they are referred to as ghost malls. That is not to say there are no businesses in them, but the majority of storefronts are empty, and those that are in use look more like squatters moved in -- stores you would encounter out on the street with little glitz or glamour -- definitely no mall appeal.  So, I did some research on the mall and found out where it was, saw a few photos, and read some description about it, but most of the info was from 2013 to 2019, nothing recent. Wikipedia has a bit of information as well, but all quite dated. Some of the basic stats are that the mall covers  9,600,000 sq ft with enough space for 2,350 stores.  But with the pandemic, what

Among other gods

Over the past few decades, the West has promoted the idea that the only truly impartial worldview is secularism, the absence of religion In fact, secularism is now seen as the dominant and only viable perspective in the world, which--in typical Western myopia--ignores about 3.17 billion people in the East who are adherents to Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and folk religions (according to Adherents.com ). We in the West have little understanding of the role religion plays in the daily lives and worldviews of nearly half of the world's population. Two weeks ago, I was able to witness an annual event in our apartment community which vividly demonstrated the divide. Our community is located on the outskirts of Xiamen in an area made up of country folk. The story we've been given is that this apartment complex was built on the ruins of a village and housing was given to many of the people to replace the homes they lost. So, the atmosphere of this complex is much more rural than most.
