VonHelton Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Rooster, I believe it is........ I heard China was allowing the people to do religious services this year to ward away evil spirits. ......Glad to see the Chinese Govt has lightened up a bit. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The Chinese govt. controls the religious leaders. No church is allowed to operate unless approved by the govt. and the church is headed by someone approved by the govt. I lived there. They have a seperate way of treating foreigners, compared to their own kind, but they will still kick your butt out if they catch you spreading religion or talking about cults. I hated those fireworks.. every time someoe got married in the apt complex, they would shoot those things off in the morning. But what can you do, it was a govt apt where judges and police live.

Well, so much for that bright idea........ :( There are ways to deal with cults & wierdos without stifling freedom of religion. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahaha Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 lol, it made me sick at first.. but then I couldn't stop laughing after a while. Just looks retarded. Is this one sweet enough? I was warned not to discuss politics with the students in English corner at the college I went to. The boys would ask what I think about Bush or the Chinese leaders, and the girls would ask what my favorite song is lol. They told me that some of the students might actually be security bureau police in disguise, trying to ask me questions to see if I am a trouble maker. One other foreign guy who was there was about 57 yrs old and retired from IBM. He got kicked out because he was travelling all over and meeting with religious people or doing something and inviting them to his apt, trying to spread Christianity. He never said why he left since he had rented his apt for 2 yrs in advance. He just left one day and had to sell or give away his stuff. All in all I enjoyed my stay in China. The food was the best part, and getting to walk around in a city where you're the most recognized person and most famous. Heck I was even on TV!

I liked your previous avatar better (made me laugh). Did you get the chance to eat snake or scorpions ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I didn't eat either of those, but did nearly get stung by a yellow scorpion in TX. Most of the food I ate in China was instant soup, or meat and egg soup, and eggs and soup in the morning, made by my gf mother. Her uncle who is a Dr. took us out for dinner a lot and we ate hotpot style stuff like mutton and fish. Man I had a lot of ppl wanting to buy me dinner or give gifts for favors of doing something for them such as speak to students. I thought I would die of over eating. They also had a KFC in that city, and have soup there that they don't offer in the US KFCs. I really didn't eat anything exotic there, but the food I had was good anyway, and I like some of those "moon cakes" that they have for spring festival I think, and I miss the food so much that I want to go back. It's a whole different place over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
