After living in China for almost 5 years, I have been able to witness the many faces of this huge country. China is a country that if you visit and pay attention, just by looking at people you will be able to see a unique story that is waiting to be discovered and be told. Here you will find many pictures that my girlfriend Leollyne from Singapore and I have taken over our long stay in China.
This is Mrs. Wang, my personal tailor at a local market near the town I live in. From time to time, I visit her to fix my pants, shirts or anything that needs to be patched, sewed or adjusted. With her old electric sewing machine and even though our language barrier, she does not need much explanation; just by pointing at her the issue, she does a fine job every time for a very cheap price.
Las muchas caras de la China de hoy
Después de vivir en China durante casi 5 años, he podido presenciar las muchas caras de este gran país. China es un país que si lo visita y presta atención, solo con mirar a las personas podrá ver una historia única que está esperando ser descubierta y contada. Aquí encontrará muchas fotos que mi novia Leollyne de Singapur y yo hemos tomado durante nuestra larga estadía en China.
Esta es la Sra. Wang, mi sastre personal en un mercado local cerca de la ciudad donde vivo. De vez en cuando, la visito para arreglar mis pantalones, camisas o cualquier cosa que necesite ser arreglada, cosida o ajustada. Con su vieja máquina de coser eléctrica y, a pesar de nuestra barrera del idioma, no necesita mucha explicación; solo al señalarle el problema, ella hace un buen trabajo cada vez por un precio muy barato.
