Just a walk around my new neighbourhood
It was a nice day yesterday, not too cold for February, so my wife and I took a walk around the area to which we recently moved and took some photos. You will see that China is full of contrasts, old and new, rich and poor, ramshackle and modern. This is the apartment building in which we live:
Next to our apartment there is a mall with a supermarket below it. This is the front of the mall:
But then just walk around behind the mall and this is what you see:
Turn the corner and it's a farmer's market:
In contrast, you can see behind the farmer's market, this building being constructed:
But then you're back to the street stores:
Balloons for the kids in front of a children's hospital (the vendor got shy on me):
Then we walked along the canal that goes past our apartment, saw a mosque with a modern building in contrast behind it. Next to the mosque is a Muslim restaurant that serves the most delicious big bowl of mutton noodle soup (enough for a whole meal) for the equivalent of $1.50:
Across from the mosque we found a wooded hill with a pagoda on the top:
Who's that woman holding onto the column?
IT'S MY WIFE.
Okay, time to go home.
