Another Sunday, Another Park

June 10th, 2012 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized

As we’ve mentioned before, Sunday is usually our day of rest.  We spend the morning at an international fellowship in our city, eat lunch with a group of friends, and then go to a park for a walk together.  A while back, we found a park which must have a specific purpose in the event of an emergency:

Until there’s an actual disaster, these kids will put the emergency water supply to good use:

This guy is doing his part to fatten up the emergency food supply:

“If you build it, they will come.”  This definitely applies to every park in China: wherever there is a shady place to sit, you’ll find musicians.  Click here to listen:  Small Park Music

And finally, wherever you go in the world on a sunny day, you will probably see kids and bubbles:

    bahahahaha!! i love the music video! oddly enough i miss those strange sounds and screechy voices. My favorite part though is the expression on that old woman’s face as she’s staring at mom in the beginning of the movie. She looks very confused. And mom looks really pretty here too.

    That’s because Mom IS really pretty! I think Chinese people often look at Mom and try to figure out if she’s is part Asian. Staring must not be culturally improper, since we often get the full drive-by gawk/stare.

    I listened to the music video and was thankful it was short.

    This was actually quite peaceful, at least compared to the usual overamplified screechy female voices that seem to dominate our parks.
