My Life in China - Photos From Many Years

Among these 24 photos are many I have not posted before, and others that you may have seen a while ago, but all have been improved with my editing program, and framed for better presentation. These photos have been taken over the past almost 13 years I've been living in China.

1.   They did a "pirate ship" show on this boat in Millennium Park, in ancient Kaifeng.

2.   In the same park, a traditional dance.

512

3.   A view of the park - it is huge.

512

4.   Pagodas are everywhere - this one was a short walk from my apartment in Zhengzhou.

512

5.   Believe it or not, that is a children's hospital around the corner from my apartment in Zhengzhou.

512

6.   In Millennium Park - guess what goes on in that building.

512

7.   In ancient Kaifeng there are also very old parks that are not kept pristine.

512

8.   But it still has a Buddhist temple, where my wife lit and planted joss sticks in front.

512

9.   But INSIDE that temple, a whole other world.

10.   Spring colours in Zijingshan Park in Zhengzhou.

512

11.   Outside the park, souvenirs and eats.

512

12.   Mah Jong al fresco - someone once asked me if men and women play together - so as you see.

512

13.   So many pretty girls. Did I get married too soon?

512

14.   A preferred vehicle here. Actually I saw a beautiful all-black Indian motorcycle yesterday.

512

15.   I really couldn't figure out that place - nobody there.

512

16.   I think this was a flower shop preparing for a wedding.

512

17.   A clock tower on a hospital in Zhengzhou.

512

18.   No hot dogs, but lots of street food.

512

19.   Beside the medical school in Zhengzhou, the students leave their hot water containers while they're in class.

512

20.   Peonies at the annual Luoyang Peony Festival, seen through the hanging lanterns.

512

21.   Beauty among the peonies - my wife and on the left the wife of NT member USA1.

512

22.   USA1 and his wife help to celebrate my wife's birthday - lighting the candles.

512

23.   Artifacts in the Henan Provincial Museum in Zhengzhou.

512

24.   These magnificent homes are around the corner from the school where I used to teach.  When I first came here real estate was cheap, but the prices have inflated tremendously since.  If I had come here with $20,000 I could have bought one of them.  They now would sell for 20 times that amount.
