Nanjing
Hi, Lucy and Cindy! Here are some of my favorite pictures. I hope you guys enjoy!!
Irish pubbing
Thanks for this photo, Cindy. This girl has been training all her life, and now she can bend over and pick up the pink flower on top of the white bouquet with her teeth.
Hot pot.
Taiping Rebellion Museum. Nanjing means south capital (Bei-jing is north capital) and it was the capital of China for two periods. The Heavenly Kingdom of the Taiping in the 19th century is believed by some to question the theory that Christianity has no place in China. Hong Xiuquan, in a photo above, thought himself to be the brother of Jesus and began a kingdom with the capital in Nanjing. The Taiping conquered lots of land but eventually fell after 11 years to the Qing dynasty (due to some foreign help which favored the Qing trading rights and thought Xiuquan was a heretic).
Sun Yatsen mausoleum.
This was cute, thank you Lucy:)
packed packed packed pedestrian bridge.
The king of Nanjing.
This is nuts? right? This was in the Nanjing airport. I would like to know who's book is separating Mr. and Mrs. Bill Clinton.
Here is Wes in action. This little room is off the main bar and was for karaoke, but since this was a Westerners party, that wasn't happening. On the right is Frank, who i met that night and ended up meeting again on my flight from Nanjing to Beijing. He makes golf courses with Gary Player, one of five men ever to win the Grand Slam of golf. Hanging out with him on the plane 5 days after partying with him was a probably one of the biggest coincidences i've ever seen, although in China, you can see a white guy coming from a mile.
