There are a lot of people in China. The whole 1.3 Billion people in one country never really hit me until I saw Super Wal-Mart in Xiamen, the city I'm currently in. When you walk into the Walmart, there are just so many people walking around. The social stratification is also clearly identifiable with beggars mixing with the wealthy at every corner. It's also clear that China is continuously growing. Old Buildings are now being broken down to make way for the new buildings. McDonalds, KFC, Burger Kings, and the aforementioned Walmart are taking over. It's a China that I never really imagined or desired. But that's what it is and the people are adjusting just fine.
