Speaking of China . . .


Recommended Posts

Another contest in the Global Times.

 

For this one, the comments were turned off after only three were made

China is nothing short of a sensory overlord. In addition to the exotic tastes, sights and ahem… bouquet of smells, there’s a spectrum of sounds that resonate the true China experience. And beyond the street hawkers, trash recyclers and the “dao, dao, dao” of parking attendants, China is also a place where questions about your monthly salary, comments about your weight and inquires about your political stance from strangers are just casual chitchat.

We’d like to know what sounds like China to you! Submit a question, comment or screamed exclamation you’ve heard that encapsulates your time in China for a chance to win a T-shirt and a pair of Global Times chopsticks in our latest "Speaking of China ..." reader contest!

I, for one, welcome our new Chinese sensory overlords.

Only in China can you hear a deep sound of a throat - a sound not polite in any other culture.
