Now that we’ve been living in the States for a while, it seemed timely to look back through this year’s photo archive and post a few random photos. I’ll start with some transportation pictures, like this very small car:
a stroller-bike:
an overloaded e-bike:
and something new in our part of China – a group of rental RV’s:
Some things that we miss include walking down old flowery streets:
kite flyers:
interesting statuary:
Chinglish advertisements:
our favorite milk tea:
different options at Pizza Hut:
and colorful local food, like this spicy rabbit stew:
Some other differences that we’ve talked about before include constant construction:
resulting in all of these new high-rises:
a window shop where the owner cuts metal on the sidewalk all day without safety glasses:
a very hot apartment with no A/C:
knock-off products:
small gardens wherever spare ground permits:
sometimes accompanied by a “garden cottage”:
and chickens roaming alongside the highway:
Yes, looking back reminds us of the uniqueness of our life in China. It also reminds us of how much we miss spending time with our students:
I just can’t figure out what the one billboard is advertising. “Naive face” and “pet phone”…. I am so confused!
Makes you nostalgic!
Jessica, we never understood this one either! It was posted on a shop inside our apartment complex and left us puzzled each time we entered.
I need that stroller bike! How convenient!
