Bonus post-Living in China

Hey all,

Here's an extra post just to show some pictures of China, typical stuff that gives you an idea of how people live here in China. I like to take odd pictures (Becky reminds me of that often) so hopefully you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them.

It is truly amazing how God has created such a diverse world, isn't it?

It's freezing in there... The copper vases are etched, copper wire is glued to them and painted over and over again.

They are then put into a furnace. See the flame in the middle of that floor?

I took this before I saw the "no pictures" sign.

This elderly woman walk amongst the busy streets, right between the cars as they rushed by...

This was in the view from our hotel...

On to Nanning...

The view from our hotel in Nanning. You can see the official country bird everywhere... The crane.

Well, I have much more, I will post at a later time. That's enough for now!
