One of the interesting aspects of being a westerner in China is the
seeming assumption by the Chinese about my (and other westerners)
religion.
There seems widespread assumption that all westerners are ‘followers of Jesus’ as a taxi driver put it to Rob.
When
we got in the taxi to the 798 Art District, the driver discovered that
Rob could speak Chinese and decided to lambast him about Jesus!
Most
Chinese (I’m told), have no religion, but they are extremely
superstitious. They will take particular note of omens, buildings have
to be aligned in the most favourable way, and they will make offerings
to gods and deities in order to affect a particular outcome.
