I took most of these when I went with Chris to the univ. campus last week.


Four of these statues stand guard at each corner of the number one bridge going over the Yangtze into Nanjing.




I think I should get one of these drive myself and the boys around the campus!


Let's hope this is just a really bad example of Engrish, and not that it really means what it says.


Not the best quality photo, but I liked the ancient vs. the new juxposition.


I like his hair.

I don't suppose those are B of M's in their hands! That bridge was completed in 1968. I was almost 23 and now I'm 61, so its been there awhile. I would have never dreamed then that one day one of my sons and my grandsons would be in China or crossing it! Do they have a memorial to the 30 some odd million who starved to death in the famine about a decade before the completion of the bridge?

Little red books! You can buy them everywhere, too. It is strange to think that we are living in the same country that went through the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. When I look at elderly people and realize that they lived through those times, I just want to sit down and have them tell me stories about what it was like. Even if I could speak Chinese though, I'm sure such topics are taboo.

Definately get the cart/motorcycle thing. The boys would LURVE it.

Yes, it would be much easier to get around than a pedicab. I wonder where they sell such things? lol!
