I've always wondered what that looked like in daylight since the only time I got up there was at night! Wasn't it a weird feeling at first to step out on the glass? Some people around wouldn't even go near the glass.

Oblio - I'm going to forward your photos to our Foreign Language teachers here at school. They are so interesting especially since we have a school exchange program with a school in China.

nope not that either used to be easier when husband was afraid to fly but now it's all me keeping our feet on the ground evidently you never read my most embarassing moment about the tom sawyer caves...claustrophobia and fear of heights don't go over well in planes

0bli0,
Great pics, I'm using your pictures to entice my children about visiting my homeland in the near future. The thought of sitting on a plane for 15 hours, walking around in hot, humid, over crowded city just doesn't sound like fun to a 9 year old

thanks Sue!! you should definitely get them to go. 9 year olds love this stuff! china is a great place for kids around that age as they tend to see and absorb more of the subtleties than most adults. and there is quite a bit to do.

my kids are happy to sit on planes from oz to colorado, as lomng as they have their ipods and gameboy/psp to keep them occupied.

What on Earth did that poor panda do to deserve to be hung?

Love your photos, as always, ObliO. You make me want to put my camera away forever. (Or just try harder, either way.)

Well aren't I feeling like a weenie now for griping about being the one who had to pull dd this past week in the Burley loaded down with a cooler, boogie board and other beach paraphernalia? Seriously, how does that man do that?!

 

[0bli0]

Thanks everyone for the comments!

here are some from the Hutongs (old part of Beijing)

some photos from Xi Ning before we boarded the train to Tibet

quality proof

btw: that's not a lamp over the heads. it's a spinning wire with a piece of cloth to shoo the flies. the meat is not cured or preserved, and smells yummy - to flies and locals...

yes... those are tongues

they start selling very young...

we're not on Kansas anymore... it's so different here from the westernised Chinese cities.

watches, cameras, mp3 players, tv aerials, calculators, and film (which is stored in the hot sun...).

the frist wrong sign i've seen in Xi Ning. this sign is after you pass 'the inspection of the three dangerous'

i have *no* idea...
