1. my sister in the back, and my cousin in the front , they are in a bus.
2. my cousin that is getting married's wedding picture.
3. my sister with some of her friends.
4. looks like a restaurant.
5. my sister (again) outside of some building.
You're absolutely right about that first pic. The composition is outstanding. It would be poster quality if it was a little clearer (or lighter?) on the right side.
Nothing a little photoshop can't do.

Leishi,
what is with the peace symbol (V'd fingers.) Your sister has her fingers V'd in 3 of the 4 pictures she is in, as does the youngster in one of the pics with her. Is that just a "your sister" kind of thing, or is that something cultural I am not aware of?

Maybe thats the "california hello" for china? haha
I wanted to know that also, Dexter.
That gesture's also very prevalent in anime.

Wow, that is some beautiful construction in that restaurant (4th pic of the second post).
And that first pic (with bridge and water) is great. Don't suppose you have a higher res. version for a wallpaper?
Cool pics mate!

Americanized. Means "peace." Some Americans do it to show they are comfortable where they are and some just to show they are comfortable with who they are communicating with-- in this case, picture recipients.... :D
Sis liked China, at least in part-- smile plus comfortable posture plus peace symbol equals emphasis.
John.

she is the same girl in the second post second picture,
she is my cousin, about something like 6 years older than me, or is it 8??
she is a teacher, and just got married.
It's john. Of course he went into detail...Useless detail, but nonetheless.

Where was that in China? I didn't expect China to be so Modern looking (It is a Communist + Capitalist country after all)
BTW, your cousin is beautiful... And a teacher too (what is the chinese translation of that, sensei in Japanese, in Chinese it is ___________?)

the chinese translation is Lao Shi, the city is Wenzhou, it's city by the sea, and it have open/free whatever u want to called it economy long before a lot of other place in china, because it's a seaport city. It's a small city, and it's also called Small HongKong because it's economy and night life.
A lot of people from other city come to Wenzhou for jobs, because the pay is a lot better than what they can get in their native city. I think average factory worker gets about 1000to2000 yuan, that's about 200 USD.(not very much, but it's a lot more compared to others)
BTW, notice they had those LCD monitors in the bus, thought that was pretty cool.
