I’m never the one to post about these tensions but this incident has come too close to home.
This photo was taken on the same block as the Dallas Police Department shooting.
For those who know me, especially my friends in Texas, they know that I’ve got very much love for the City of Dallas. This city has given me nothing but great culture, humbleness, and exemplifies great UNITY. I’ve spent boundless amounts of time on the streets of Downtown Dallas because of my love for photography. When I walk these downtown encased streets, I encounter many city law enforcement personnel and I have to say the Dallas Police Department conducts a great job of keeping this city together. I spent about three hours this morning watching the news as well as raw footage of last night’s protest & shooting. From what I have observed, I believe last night’s protest would have been a prime illustration of what a peaceful demonstration is supposed to be. I viewed police and citizens amongst each other conduct the protest side by side. Unfortunately another act of hatred ensued. I am truly heartbroken by the occurrences of the past few days, especially one that is close to home. It will be very eerie to dive back into city photography but next time I chance upon Dallas Police I will be sure to thank them for their courageousness.
Violence doe not drive out violence. Innocent lives matter.
3rd international solo trip.
Itinerary: Chennai to Singapore (transit - If you have B1/B2 visa you can get single entry to Singapore without transit or tourist visa) , Singapore - > Guangzhou , Guangzhou - Yangshou (high-speed bullet train - use ctrip.com for booking tickets) , Yangshuo - Fenghuang (Guilin-Fenghuang bus 6 hours), Fenghuang - Zhangjiajie (bus 4 hours) - Zhangjiajie - Guangzhou-Singapore-Chennai-Bangalore Return flight)
Unlike other trips, this one was super expensive. Bad planning as well. If you are having a proper meal or dinner from a good hotel in Zhangjiajie or Guangzhou, it will cost you around 180Yuan minimum. That is 1800Rs :P. Water is cheap. Entry passes to most of the national park are expensive (spent around 17,000 (1700RMB) on it)). Ordering food in a Chinese restaurant is a nightmare. I had to show my dance and acting skills to show what kind of curry i want. Ordered chicken curry, but the whole chicken was sleeping inside the curry. Got its head and feet. I think I had dog once, but tasted like mutton..so I did not investigate too much about it. I was ordering food based on the fonts they have used in the menu card. If I like some font, I will order that :).
Climate was too cold everywhere (min 2 degree and max 15 degree). I was carrying thermals and had to wear it almost 7 days because asking for laundry service in my hotel is another pain. It is very difficult to find people who speak English here. Most of the places were covered with fog. I did not see a single Indian anywhere. Saw only 4 tourists during the entire trip (off season). But lot of Chinese tourists everywhere. They love beard and I was part of at least 20 selfies with the Chinese throughout out the trip. Chinese people are really good, sweet, hard working. I will add more details here later.
Chinese infrastructure is massive!!. We cannot compare it with any other cities in the world. I have been to New York and San Francisco and I have not seen such big machinery and bridges and elevators anywhere.!!! Apart from food, I love everything about China.
