Sunny Sunday Morning Walkabout in China

Sunny Sunday Morning Walkabout in China

My wife and I went for a walk this morning. It was sunny and warm and the flowers were blooming. Many people were out either walking or involved in some activities. Here is what we saw today:

Lots of flowers around:

4492_discussions.jpg Fishing in a pond can be a family event:

4493_discussions.jpg This Chinese form of chequers is serious business:

4494_discussions.jpg Rabbits for sale - hopefully not to be eaten:

4495_discussions.jpg This is a kind of fan dance done to music, mostly by elderly people for exercise and entertainment:

4496_discussions.jpg University student dormitory. 2 sets of clothes - wash and dry one, wear the other.

4497_discussions.jpg I'm not sure but it looks like an air-filled kids playground.

4498_discussions.jpg English Corner. Many Chinese come out to practise their English with foreigners like myself

4499_discussions.jpg Here Mike Murphy from Texas is leading a sing-song in English

4500_discussions.jpg?width=750 Everyone's looking at the posters with the words

4501_discussions.jpg Even the elderly join in.

4502_discussions.jpg?width=750 Heading back towards home.

4503_discussions.jpg?width=750 They play croquet on hard dirt ground.

4504_discussions.jpg I never saw palm trees blossom before - who's that beautiful woman?

4505_discussions.jpg Wherever you go there are street vendors.

4506_discussions.jpg Oh, my wife, that's who she is.

4507_discussions.jpg Then home for lunch and a rest. Almost everybody rests after lunch.

Beautiful pictures Buzz. Reminds me of Taiwan so much when I was there. I hear it is one of the most expensive places in the world to live today though.

I don't know about Taiwan, Sixpick, but China certainly isn't.
