Very good work with colour, the red pops.

Adding to Phil's comment: ... and for us, Europeans, there's the juxtaposition of the pizza box, which you will also find here, on a Chinese means of transport. Here, they use Vespa scooters.

Nothing more to add, very well spotted and thought :-)

Sorry for a typo below, Kal. I said "reminder of this face." I meant "reminder of this fact."
Phil Douglis19-Jan-2007 18:43
You are saying here what I tried to say a few weeks in Morocco (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/72907367 )
Cultural differences may certainly remain, but a newer, more universal culture now spans the globe: consumerism. Your pizza in China and my Coke in Marrakesh are but small reminders of this face. You use incongruity here by contrasting the Italian word Pizza (an American invention) to the Chinese characters, just as I use incongruity in my shot of a Moroccan ordering a pot of tea amid a sea of Coca Cola entreaties.

Saw something like this in Buenos Aires a few years ago.
Now where did I put that file...

Really cool! Bravo!

Such a simple amd telling shot. I always think that pizza is the most unAsian of food.

Joyful , light, amusing…
The essential simplicity of a very aesthetic image.

Papa John should pay you, Kal.
I saw this scene many times but why i never got to take a great shot like this? well done!
Guest 19-Jan-2007 13:09
Great shot Kal. A perfect and gentle collision of capitalism and an country almost outstripping its won growth. Great street documentary

Giro d'Italia in China? Well, well!!!
Guest 19-Jan-2007 12:10
where there is pizza, there is Italy.

Delivery from Italy by bicycle? Oh well, on the path of Marco Polo... ;-))
I like the colours (obviously ;-)
