'Biking out of the Slum' Beijing 中国 مترو China 地铁 © 2011 William Kai Stephanos

Biking through a slum [at ~Midnight] in Beijing in order to get to my favorite restaurant. The beginning shows the slum and as the video progresses the area changes into a more developed urban area.

[4 minutes 22 seconds long] Filmed from a moving bike.

Not really a slum there but people who were kick out of their old homes so new buildings can go up. at midnight this woman kept knocking on my door. yeah i knew what she was. She was very pretty too! I was tempted.

It's a very interesting slice of life exploration into a country that has hosted the Olympics and shown us great beautiful architecture and landscapes. Such a contrast, although similar contrasts exist in the USA and elsewhere.

Nice to see how the place looks like. I live in a small village near the forests where we only have 1 traffic light so where I live is so completely oppsite to what I see here that I can't imagine how it would be to have to live there. All those people....I went to New York once and it really was a culture shock. I was so happy to be back home again ;)Do you live in China permanently? Because you have a lot of vids about it.
