Sunday Stroll

A lot of our activities consist of getting on random buses or talking random streets to see where we end up.  Needless to say we run into some pretty interesting things along the way, where you smile and just say, “Only in China.”
Our first stop we ran into a park that had rollerblades/skates, 3 person bicycles, kid toy rides, carnival games, and lots of kites.  Here is Landon in front of the park with all of the kites with some of the street vendors selling food.  The other one is kites that you could rent for the day.
There are so many people that ride bikes and they pile on everything.  I saw a two wheeled bike that was carrying 4 queen size mattresses on the back of it.  Here is one with balloons.
Picture of the buildings/apartments.  They are all so close together.


There are so many different types of lamp posts here and it is always interesting to find the new ones, but every time we seem to find them, they are not on. Chinese people never turn them on.

Random toilets on the side of the street.  Most toilets in China are squatters though.
One of the funniest things to do here is read the signs and their English translations.  The first one is for a place to eat and it says “Dog, Lamb meat hotpot.” The second one is one that we found in a park.
