Oh ya? You didn’t notice the “la-lala, I’m just standing around playing with my beautiful hair” attitude on the white one? ; )

The chick in green was the one I saw, but at a (few) other goes I noticed that one chick in white just leaning against the wall.

Karaoke can be fine when it’s a decent person singing, but I’m certainly glad that there was no Chinese opera playing during my walk because I have yet to acquire a taste for it.

I believe the green one was the more obvious hooker, and it was the one in white before her that was harder to pick out.

I was thinking about using some more moving music actually, but none of it really fit in during the quiet parts. It’s especially hard because most of my music has English words, which doesn’t go with all these Chinese people. I thought the soft piano became a nice counterpoint to the buzz that was going on in the visuals.

As for the French tag, it was supposed to be “Chinese culture”, but WordPress didn’t auto complete it, so it came out as “Chine”. :)

Okay, maybe for one of them it’s debatable whether she’s a hooker or not.

My walk along the fortune tellers was overshadowed by a an event for which they’d set up chairs in the street alongside. They’d arranged for all the seniors to attend a Chinese opera karaoke sing-a-long with cranked amplification. Karaoke is bad enough and Chinese opera is an aquired taste (I actually like it) — but this was like perusing fortune tellers with a bunch of mating cats in the background…pretty funny. It seems like anything can go on in the streets there.

And Servant yes that second one (the green one) was probably a hooker too.

I miss the ding dings. Awesome views.

For some reason I would have picked different music for that video. It screams “nightlife” to me and the music seems a bit serene. Neat stuff though! A lot of the merchandise does look like useless nicknacks but I would definitely be all up in that if I were there lol.

P.S. did you purposely make a French tag for that post? or was that a fluke :) ?
