Inspired by the "Wildlife pics while touring" thread I thought a similar thread to showcase our experiences of touring through new cultures and foreign countries would be great for everyone to share. Please share your favorites.

My last extended touring trip was through china here are some of the shots I got. I rode with a 35mm SLR strapped to my chest so it was always right at hand to snap that perfect picture. All of these pictures were taken from or of biking through northern china.
