There’s a great new short video called “Moments in China” made by Ryan Emond. It’s mostly time-lapse video, shot in different parts of China. It’s quite beautiful (and I recognized, and have been to almost all the cities he shot.) China seems to lend itself particularly well to grand sweeping epic style films.

As I rode the slick new escalators up the side of the mountain in the Xiamen botanical Gardens, I hated myself a little. Why was I here, supporting the destruction and abuse of this gorgeous natural mountain? I mean, is there anything lazier than taking an escalator up a mountain?
You’d think in a country where Instagram was blocked there would be no Instagrammification of places. But then you’d be wrong…very wrong.
