Ah, I am really making use of this blog. It's very interesting because I never expected to do so. Anyways, I am not just going to keep this blog for the sake of school (as that is the reason why I made this), but being historically inclined and terribly talkative, I have decided to keep this on even after the school year ends.

Anyways... I have learned that I might go to China next summer (I really hope I do), and so, I went to check out some sites about the country (but heck, I would've even if I wasn't going there ;p), anyways, upon stumbling on some things, well... I do have to say that I feel a bit sorry for them. Being terribly inclined to history and inclined to travel to get away from everthing here and witnessing new things, I felt sad that in the City of Beijing, the officials there are tearing down the old houses, old neighborhoods for the Olympics, for some fear that it would become an eyesore. And then they would build high rises and large avenues. One goes to another country to see new things, not the same things over and over again. I know there are advantages to this, but then again, could they possibly be ashamed of their own culture and people? Like I would know. All I am saying is that, since I am a historically and culturally inclined person, and these actions just makes it less worthwhile to go there.
NOT BOYCOTTING CHINA BTW... :D so go there and judge it for yourself (as if you even feel like going there. or maybe you do?) ;p
