[chocomuffinbear0x]

LOL!! this video is so true; the weird workout machines are everywhere, i remember being completely flummoxed by them whenever i visited. and there were always people on the street doing tai-chi and playing badminton and chinese chess! and flying kites! and the rude market people! aw this makes me so nostalgic..

[hanadaze]

love the song.

[SxeanLeeDavidz]

Elysesewell, why you not post in livejournal anymore ? we miss you...

[Babspace]

Miss your 'blog, dawg.

[rathlone]

i keep coming back to this video. i've even now got the soundtrack!

its interesting that the best video i've seen about REAL chinese life is made by an american woman, with an ethiopian soundtrack! ;-)

[lausfam]

This video gives me another view of China

[marypiglauyu]

The bg music matches the video!!!!!!!! Love it!!!

[unident1]

[0justBETHANY]

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Woop,s I meant better in terms of actually 'being' on location w/ you...nothing beats your snappy writing of course...doh! heh heh

[LisaFreemontStreet]

This is even better than your blog, Elyse! Thanks so much for this. Wish I had knowns about it before.

Ha! The old guy is decked out in a silky white martial arts uniform. Another guy is aiming at inflated condoms with an AK47 at point blank range. The guy on the footbridge over the river had the best "what the f&*% are you looking at?" expression. Some old lady is feeling up a yellow corn on the cob thing-a-majing. At the orange case, it's a pick-pocketers paradise. Is that guy churning butter buried underneath? Who's hornier--the Poodle or Edison Chen?

Good stuff.

Now, Marry Me!

please.

I don't know about you guys but this song is epic.

Makes me want to dance a little. Like a slight leg kick and a little jig.

[ferretsrcrunchy]

Is this what they bleeped out in your epic confession when you called J. Alexander a ******* slice?

[rosterchange]

Elyse--I want to see you ice skate at the indoor rink at the gaudy Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, holding a skewer of Fish Balls with one hand and a glossy photo of Daniel Wu in the other hand while wearing a Radiohead Tee (as a ceremonious F-you to the Ex).

At the very least, shoot a video of the shit show at Club Volar or the China Club.

"When our kite lines first crossed

We tied them into knots

And to finally fly apart

We had to cut them off."

I love you Elyse!

[rathlone]

thank you elyse (aka jukgirl) for introducing me to this cool music. i'm now checking out "The Very Best Of Ethiopiques (2007)".

[rathlone]

genius. the ethiopian music sounds alot like taiwanese aboriginal music.

[xjaja]

Hahah. Chinese people love their tangerines.

That doll was a bit freaky. But I loved the overall video! :)

[yamaddahk]

nice vid - you managed to adequately capture all the craziness that I always see, but never have the chance to record! I'll be in downtown shanghai sampling a new hotel for a few days at the beg of march, so hopefully I can also document the alluring madness that is china...

[Rosalitamaria]

haha the fruit stand

[intron1]

Your videos are always amazing. Love your LJ, love the videos. Thanks for sharing.

[bos78]

I think what those people are going gaga for in the market are kumquats.

[justinjun]

are those yellow things like exercise stuff?

[justinjun]

your vids are great!

[HSwell]

I love your videos, Elyse! This one is so aptly titled, too!

[monaleesa5]

[andygirl444]

[Finaldestination3fan]

[MissChievous]
