ja, people, development, ecology seem to b quite complicated. it appears to b very difficult people respect ecology. and not only tourists, i ve been cleaning around lama's temple the tibetan garbage, tibetans dont seem care leaving garbage on the precious mountain.

dont think there is much hope. ignorance,carelessness or evil r strong....

in terms of architecture, and in general, i hope imagination and tradition can synthetize.

i believe some progress could b made in chinese urbanization and building, for instance much more green spaces

i hope also poverty alleviation can b reached, kerping communist ideals of equality between people, in terms if resources, rights and opportunity

lastly i hope freedom of expressionand information of the people is secured

i still hold that the economical system we live in is very alienating and kind of totalitaryan as it seems quite impossible to live outside dominant capitalism

by the way, is prostitution considered as violence on women for money causes?
