Vintage Film Footage from China

I've been a bit under the weather for the past week or so and haven't posted anything here, but I am feeling better now and am back at it.

I ran across a fascinating post at a blog called "QuirkyBeijing" which links to old film footage at the Travel Film Archive on YouTube. The footage would be very interesting to anyone who has visited these places and wants to see how much things have changed since the early 1900's.

Listening to the narration is a real treat too. The English language has evolved a lot since these clips were made. Attitudes toward the rest of the world seem to have changed also, as these come across as pretty patronizing.

This is worth at least a little of your time.
