The New China - Are you ready?
Posted by + mOdOk + under Currents , Life in Beijing , PhotographyNo Comments
Things sure have changed in Beijing over the past four years. The Central Business District (CBD) is nearly complete. Wide roads with actual sidewalks are showing up everywhere. And now kiosks on city corners are displaying posters of nearly naked girls, which have been adorning a host of magazine covers as of late, almost as if there’s an unspoken competition to see who can show the most skin on the cover. I’ve marveled at this phenomenon looking at magazine racks at 7-11, also a new addition to the Beijing landscape and now nearly as ubiquitous as in any other metropolis, but this was the first time I saw one of the magazine covers blown up to this size. Makes me wonder who will top this…
