Bike Ride down Guangqu Rd.

So let's take a minute to analyze this picture... there are a bunch of puppies in this garbage ridden alley, and I was quite simpathetic. Moving from left to right, there is a small puppy walking on the sidewalk, that leads to nowhere, probably in the best shape out of the bunch. Next we have a dead puppy, or sleeping in a very uncomfortable position, to which I was very appalled. Then center stage there is a puppy that first caught my eye, with cute ears like gizmo from Gremlins. Then I realized that his eyes were stuck shut with infection, his nose was somewhat of a boil, and his ears were flopped down because of big infections on his head.

Next, way in the background there is the smallest and probably cutest puppy, white and black, looking longingly at me like he needed a home. But a puppy sitting in garbage is kind of like cereal in spoiled milk, I like cereal a lot, but the whole thing is sour. Finally, there are two puppies fighting on the ground... they were fighting very slowly... like they were sick.



This was an awful find. It's not always tourist attractions and rainbows in China. Enjoy the Nuclear Factory pictures!

Much delayed great wall pictures


A little frog





These are good for your eyes says the old man



Just cleaning chickens in the river. We ate that.

We didn't eat this






For some reason I was the first one up


Mark and I standing tall


I stood up there too!








This was the underwater section of the great wall.





This dam flower again???

One of the creepier sculptures on the table...

Having a picnic in some runoff i guess...


She caught me...


Just riding in the back with a baby that's all...


Maybe she's sad because her shirt says PauT Frank instead of Paul...

Zhong Guan Cun

Probably one of the craziest places I've ever been to. Computers and stuff as far as the eyes can see....


I guess this was a toystore... turned into a sales trap

Sweet lift.

Cosplay anyone?


So we are at this restaurant... with water and and an ashtray

But the only things on the menu were electronics...


This guy was trying to will a PS3 into his store, cause he didn't have any. We waited...

WanFuJing Night market... older pics

I don't know why I never posted these... back from Aug.8th to 11th... Some crazy food and stuff I guess.



Yep... little Linus the seahorse is yours for 15 quai... complete with bamboo impaling action.

Well, there are these too.



Some sort of testes...

Shilling scorps, ostritch, and silk worms.

Ostrich meat is seriously good.


Playing the pan flute of grapes...

Little Johnny likes his grapes sugared n' warm.
Some Down and dirty street Chuar in San Li Tun...

I need a new backpack

So, it's been a long time since I looked into the backpack game. I have realized, my Jansport backpack has served me well since about 8th grade. I can remember when I was at Sports Authority with my mom, and decided to spring for the better Jansport bag. She didn't think I needed it, with it's reinforced zippers and dual book compartments. So I ponied up half the money for it, which was hard earned back then mowing lawns and picking up sticks...

Anyway, I really want to get one of these new hiking minded backpacks, with taught mesh on the back, keeping the bag off of your back and allowing for max air flow. No more sweaty back bike rides! I just don't know where to go in china... I have seen so many online, but I need to try one of these babies on before I buy it. Who knows what kind of skinny timmy the bag is for... I might have mesh boundaries digging into my haunches... no deal.

Zoobalie Zoo




Cause we're buddies!


Peekaboo!



Red Panda / Big Raccoon


He rests his chin on the post.

Somebody was here... and now somebody's on my background.

Mark and a Monkey

They had Griffons!


You could stick your hand in with the griffons! For pecking off digits!




It says no climbing

But seriously it says no climbing.

Hey kid with the butt-less pants... no climbing

Hey mother of the kid with the butt-less pants... NO CLIMBING


Dark Dank Snake Bank

Kind of redundant aye?




Korea, planes, ashtrays.
