And it's a pity they don't renovate them any more because I'm sure the potential is great. I love that one pic of the uncle's house with all that wood and ceiling!<br /><br />I used to go to Tianzifang a lot because of that but the food there is expensive and lousy and like you said things are expensive.<br /><br />My driver's family has a old house near People's Square and they don't renovate either, waiting for the day it will be demolished so that they could be reimbursed with a few apartments and become "rich" over night. But apparently it is linked to the number of people registered so with his mum dead last year they now have one apartment less.Beau Lotus 涟https://www.blogger.com/profile/07357356510646043072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-69370151680635720462010-12-21T15:56:14.257+08:002010-12-21T15:56:14.257+08:00if you ever go there again, can snap some pictures...if you ever go there again, can snap some pictures on adeline Yen Mah's liao jia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-4109098162999717842010-10-24T23:51:19.356+08:002010-10-24T23:51:19.356+08:00milosh: u r right! i am so ignorant about chinese ...milosh: u r right! i am so ignorant about chinese history n geography i had to double check with my hub. i don't read chinese n i thot huangpu n hunaghe are the same n it doesn't help too when yangtze is called changjiang in chinese, all so confusing. n it took you, a serbian, to point out my mistake!<br /><br />thnx, thnx!terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-58225063529500152842010-10-20T16:30:15.272+08:002010-10-20T16:30:15.272+08:00Terri, I'm sorry, but I think you mixed up Hua...Terri, I'm sorry, but I think you mixed up Huangpu (Yellow Bank River) with Huang He (Yellow River).
