Still going through 20GB of pics I took when I took while in China...

I spent nearly 5 weeks in China this past May/June...Meeting my wife's family, getting to know my step son....

I found this picture very amusing... I took the pic, and and appear in the pic.. didn't notice the reflections until today....

Oh, It was a Nokia N97 cel phone that I used...almost looks like I am giving a one finger salute LOL

    I love the signs in China
    The "unrecycling" sign on the trash receptacle is neat..

    Here are a couple more "Chinglish" signs I found in China.

    Over a urinal in Beijing's Summer Palace:

    I took 20gb of pics using my K7, when I wasn't carry that around I used the Nokia N97 for taking pics. For instance the above pic was taken outside some wholesaler mall, I was waiting for my wife while she was shopping and I noticed the "unrecycling" bin...

    here us another taken with a cel phone.... not to bad imho

    I shouldn't laugh at some of these signs and translations, since my mandarin skills are rudimentary at best. Without my wife to help me I would have been lost.. especially in some of off the beaten path places we visited...

    This dish is a specialty in and around Huangshan/Yellow mountain...

    Traditionally it appears on menus as "terrible smelling fish"

    Many restaurateurs have caught on that a perfect literal translation is not always the best.... So you may see this on a menu as "Fragrant Fish"..

    Well... to set the record straight it did smell bad, and did not taste to good... Its been a few months and I'm still trying to figure out how they could ruin such a nice piece of fish...

    wings.gif Am back in Beijing have spent 5 weeks out of the last 6 months here... My wife took an apartment in the Chaoyang district while we wait for the interminable immigration process to slowly inch forward..

    Went food shopping today, she mentioned we should go to Walmart eek.gif

    some pics of not your average Wallymart..well a pic... I had pics of the bulk rice and bulk honey (10 different kinds) but the pics were not even up to my low standards.. Will try to swing by Wallyworld again and get some more pics..:ivar

    Wifey says Wallyworld has good prices and products... like dried sea-cucumber for 7980 rmb/Kg.

    Enough talk more action..

    Dried meat

    I was reviewing pics I took from my first two trips to China.. Other poster have motivated me

    Perhaps this should be in the macro area, it was taken at Yellow Mountain, Huangshan, Anhui Province.

    Hey, I like your great wall photos annd the pine tree one is reallly cool.

    One suggestion. Perhaps you could check out photobucket or smugmug or some such photo hosting site. Some of these are free and some you pay for, but the benefit is that you can post multiple photo at the same time. You might save a lot of time this way.

    Hope to see more photos!
