I love wood ducks. Gorgeous birds, the males at least. Every now and then I see them in the little pond in my yard.

It may resemble a cityscape skyline, but it is stalagmites behind a pond in a lit up cave in Guilin, Guanxi Province, PRC.

It does look like a cityscape skyline but on closer look I thought it might be stalagmites.  Interesting.

Notice that the caricature of me is "To Buzz".  "Buzz" is the nickname I've had since I was 4 years old - my mother named me "Buzzy" when she saw me running around with the other kids in the kindergarten schoolyard with my arms outstretched making buzzing sounds imitating the Spitfires that were defending England at the time.  She knew that Theodore Roosevelt's grandson was a pilot who was known as "Buzzy" Roosevelt.  By the time I left high school it got shortened to "Buzz" and has remained with me to this day.

Does he have family there?  So besides sharks and crocodiles you probably have snakes as well.  Attracts lots of tourists?

5.1.5  Gsquared  replied to  Buzz of the Orient @5.1.4    last year

The larger one on the left is from Japan.  I assume it was made for export because it says "Japan" in English stamped into the metal on the bottom. The smaller one on the right is, I believe, from China.  It has a Chinese character etched in the metal on the bottom.  I purchased the larger one many years ago, and the smaller one was an inheritance from my parents.

I always believed that identification of source was important, and I believe what you said about their origin, but my nephew, who also taught English in China and invited me to come and he would get me a job teaching English (which is how and why I ended up here) filled me in about some of the tricks with names and promotions used here.  He told me that there was a town in China where a lot of manufacturing of clothing takes place, and they renamed the town "Italy" so they could put "Made in Italy" labels in their products, and that if only one drop of olive oil is put in a bottle of vegetable oil they promote it as an "Olive Oil Blend".  LOL
