Interesting thread on China in Africa over at metafilter – makes you wonder what life will be like over the next few decades. Most of us have grown up under Western influences. What will happen when we live through the shift of power. Scary times. And I say scary not because China is bad or worse or whatever. Change is scary. Period.
Update: Marc from CreativeSpark shares this link about the Chinese in Africa. Really nice photos and stories there. Oh..and do check out Marc’s blog – he takes great photos too! He actually makes Singaporeans look good.
Thanks Marc!

Hi Ian
Photographer Paolo Woods has an awesome photo essay here:

It’s a collaboration with journalist Serge Michel so if you click through to the pics there’s text to tell the story.
=) Marc
