Being a glutton for punishment, I’m going to give this another shot. Let’s skip right to the photos! (Again, in no order):
 |
| A panorama taken at the Opium War memorial (may be a giant download if Google didn’t downsize it). |
 |
| Okay boy band dude, you’ve sold me on your spicey-rice-chicken-burger thing! |
 |
| There are more American badged cars in China than in Colorado |
 |
| A little history repurposing as Sally told me that this retro take on Mao uniforms are used to symbolize love between marriage partners. |
 |
| There are condos being built all over the place. I have no idea who is buying these things (they are not cheap dates), but the locals seem unconcerned so I guess it’s all good for now. |
 |
| Food in the round; there’s always way more than can possibly be eaten by the number of people who can fit at the table. |
 |
| Marriage coasters |
 |
| A pano from the window of the condo of the future bride and groom (again, probably huge). |
 |
| China sports some serious doors. Even interior doors feature real doors with steel frames, dead bolts, and mounted into concrete. |
 |
| I was getting no buzz from the local beer and these cans finally had the alcohol content on them. Sally’s dad said that he would get me drunk yet, to which I replied that we were going to be there a long time if we’re just drinking 3.1 beer. |
 |
| A resort/mall/? edifice that’s Tibetan themed |
 |
| Chinese coastal development |
 |
| The Hut |
 |
| Scooters! |
 |
| Strawberry farm |
 |
| These strawberries don’t look ripe, but they’re actually done. They’re crazy sweeter than anything stateside (only the green ones tasted ‘American’). I never knew how a peach tasted until Mrs. Sandwich got a line on fresh Georgian peaches, and I can now say that I know what a strawberry tastes like. |
 |
| Migrant workers painting a condo |
 |
| Array of solar powered water heaters on top of a condo development |
 |
| Drying/curing meat outside of a restaurant. |
